This young woman is deaf and mute. According to the person who passed it on to me, she doesn't own the horse; she's been training it for a client, and has only had twenty days with it at the time of the ride. The ride itself is a tribute to her deceased father. Make sure your sound is on when you watch.
Note that
she rides
without a
saddle or
halter and bit
and
(obviously)
without voice
commands. She
is using the
method used by
American
Indians. Even non-riders will recognize the difficulty level and the magnitude of her accomplishment. She truly is an inspiration.
