Jac at 2 hours and 55 minutes of training. Stacy states that she wants to do groundwork until a horse 'looks like a horse I would want to ride'. Jac is finally achieving that look here on day six. Stacy explains voice cues, the 'kiss' to lope cue, reducing bucking, creating a sticky spot, balancing out a sticky spot and maintaining the lope.
Stacy also discusses the difference between a very forward horse vs a tight horse. This is a key element in making a bridleless horse...something Roxy had that Jac also has.
This is the story of two-year-old Jacs Electric Whiz (Jac), the last baby out of Whizards Baby Doll, better known as "Roxy". Roxy touched the hearts of horse lovers around the world when she and Stacy Westfall made history with their bareback and bridleless freestyle reining ride. The loss of Roxy in 2012 has left a void in the equine community. Although nobody can replace her, Roxy's spirit lives on, not only in our hearts, but in Jac as well.Join us as we follow Jac through weekly videos documenting his training journey from his first session to his first show and more. It is a journey filled with questions, breakthroughs, setbacks and accomplishments... and everything in between.
