The Allure of Competing Without a Bridle

October 5, 2018 Comments Off

Meet Melanie Ferrio-Wise and her horse, Vlad. They’re currently the only pair consistently competing bridleless on the USEF rated jumpers circuit. They made history when they were the first pair to compete at the Washington International Horse Show without a bridle. But what this team is doing is a bit different than the speciality bridleless classes you may see at a weekend horse show. Melanie and Vlad compete in regular classes, without a bridle, against horses wearing bridles.

The education account is set up through USAA and donations may be mailed to Trent Parker Education Fund, 584 South Creek Road, Orrum, NC 28369.

A Tale of Two Arenas

October 2, 2018 Comments Off

Whether I’m competing at a local show or out of state, I usually receive a mixed bag of opinions. The most common reaction is curiosity! I have people come up to me in the ranch warm-up and say, “Wait, weren’t you just in Horsemanship?” or “Isn’t that the same horse from Trail?” Those questions are also followed by comments like “That’s incredible he can do that all in one day,” and “I wish my horse could do both.” Through all the positivity, there is going to inevitably be some negativity. I have been told in the Horsemanship line to “Stay on the ranch with the cows,” and to “Go back to where you came from. You aren’t good enough for this.” The most common one is “She didn’t deserve to win. She’s not a true ranch rider like the other girls.”

Cassidy’s beloved youth horse, Chocolatey Special K, carried her down the aisle, alongside her father, Steven Jensen. The ceremony took place outdoors underneath a turquoise, crustal encrusted cow skull. Afterwards, Cassidy and Kolton used a branding iron to “seal the deal.”
