- No bridle on the horse means that all the manuevers must be asked for with the legs, voice and seat of the rider. It requires good training basics. This is a 6 year old Appaloosa stallion named YOR High Noon - owned, trained & shown by Roger Johnson of Asquith, Saskatchewan, Canada. This video shows the first time High Noon was asked to perform without the bridle. (Filmed in 2001) Visit us at www.reining-appaloosa.com
LOVE this horse and the demonstration! No cheat, no anticipation or hesitation, just an honest performance with a well trained and willing horse. I have raised, trained and shown Appaloosas for a good portion of my career, it is such a pleasure to see a horse of this caliber. Thanks for posting!
Beautiful! I love the kind-hearted relationship you have..love your horse follwing you out after. What an inspiration.
Yes, my husband did all the training & showing with HighNoon. They've won 5 Nat'l Champions in Working Cowhorse, 4 in Reining, 2 in Western Riding and Ranch Cutting, & a few others. High Noon has his "Outstanding Member of the Breed" Award.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! 5 STARS for your boy. But the truth, a PERFECT 10!!!
Thank you!

Thank You !
YOR High Noon has been a real honor to train and work with...
Happy New Year !
Video is great, I love listening to the announer... "You don't do this at a weekend clinic. This takes a few hours in a backyard." That was great.
I so much more appreciate watching this kind of horsemanship than a world title winning ride where it seems the horse's spirit has been killed and every tail in the competition has been blocked.
Amazing. I attempted it before, let's just say. We got the job done, but you FAR out shine us. Amazing horse, amazing rider.
Roger your horse is Truly Amazing
and so are you.
Hi.
I filmed it at App Nat'ls about 6 yrs ago. Thats my husband Roger riding our stallion YOR High Noon. Roger did all of the training on the stud & YOR High noon is 6 yrs old in this video.
Thanks
As the owner of the horse, I assure you, he is an Appaloosa. YOR High Noon is registered with the Canadian (ApHCC) and USA (ApHC) Color described as a "few spot leopard" stallion. That means he is a 100% color producer.
By pedigree blood he is actually 87.5% pure Appaloosa. The closest non-Appaloosa in his pedigree is something like great great grandsire (an AQHA)
Thanks for your remarks... I think most people miss the fact that this is the FIRST time the horse ever did this. Plus, he is a working cowhorse by trade....
Gorgeous horse, got a kick outta that fact that looks like it's a hockey rink you're riding in. xD
When we see a horse working without "reins" or a rope round the neck - you will see the rider using his hands (or carrot stick)on the withers & the sides of the neck as guidance cues. That is also the same as "neck reining" the horse. In this video, the horse is being cued with the legs also. This is the 1rst time High Noon ever did a bridle-less run. I've seen Roger do all elements on High Noon without a rope, as well. But, you are right - in this video the rope does have an effect, too.
i love how he throws himself into his spins. most horses are so wimpy with them! wish i knew your secret.
Nice! Have you gotten to see Stacy Westfall ride? This year at the Tulsa Reining Classic she did her freestyle reining pattern without bridle, rope, and saddle. It's was really amazing to watch.
Hi - and Thanks!
Yes, YOR Pivotal Moment is a son of this stallion YOR High Noon... he's a nice gelding that does "everything" (jumping and 3-day eventing, even)
Hi
Roger trains the horse to respond to the "seat" (sit deeper) in the stop, and uses a voice cue also - "whoa". High Noon is 6 years old in this video clip, and has won a number of Reining Championships by that time.
YOR High Noon is a 100% color producing stallion. The color pattern he has is called "few spot leopard" and can be described that he is "one large spot". He has a white hair coat, but black mottled skin.
@LitleDusk
This was filmed over 9 years ago - way before it was "popular" to try a reining pattern with no bridle... This was the arena in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada (before the new facilities were completed) where some of the classes at the Appaloosa National Show were held. (This was filmed at Nationals, actually)
High Noon was 6 years old in the video. He had been trained for working cowhorse & reining (he'd won a few Nat'l Championships already in those disciplines). But he had never done a reining run without a bridle before this video was filmed. You can see that he is wondering what in the world is going on, for the first 2-3 maneuvers. By the time is starts the circles, he has decided "it's okay".
fantastic!! Nothing like a great horse under you!
Wow! How would he BEGIN teaching a horse to stop with just a rope around his neck??? That's amazing!
Thanks ! This is our stallion, & all his offspring seem to be the same winning minded athletic horses. Roger trains horses for other people as well as our own. Visit reining-appaloosa dot com to see more of them.
He is 13 yrs old this year. Retired from showing now, and just in breeding service here at our ranch.
@orlndblmsug
Thanks !!
YOR is our brand and we name all our horses with YOR in the name ... It basically is a play on the word "your", as in "Your kind of horse"
As breeders we try to produce "your type" of horse.
@YORappaloosa Oops, the gelding is actually YOR Pleasure Cruise. Pivotal Moment was a mare by High Noon. Too many offspring to remember correctly, maybe
i want my horse to do that!!!! that is an awsome training job!!!
This may be a long shot but High Noon is the sire of my current horse Twig I was just wonder where High Noon is today.
Yes, the bit and the entire headstall.
This stallion is a registered Appaloosa - named High Noon. We own him, so I assure you he is an App. He is called a "few-spot" leopard, which makes him a 100% color producer. Genetically, he is NOT a white horse, because he has "mottled skin" all over his body. His mottling is black.
This horse is a registered Appaloosa - the color is called "Few spot leopard" = meaning he is white, but he has black pigmented skin over much of his body. He is a 100% color producer. Visit our website to see foals from this stallion (loud colored Appaloosa even from AQHA mars). web address: reining-appaloosa dot com
his stride is crazy he can deff cover come ground
Thanks ! No, not Parelli at all.... Roger trains mainly for Reined Cowhorse. High Noon is 6 yrs old in this video and was started by Roger at 2 yrs old, began competing in Reining & Working Cowhorse (and everything else you can imagine) at 3 yrs old. He won his 1rst National title in working cowhorse as a 3 yr old.... The training basics are snaffle bit, then bosal, then bridle more in the spanish reined cowhorse style.
Great, that's amazing horsemanship. Where did you get this stallion? I am going to look on your website.
**kichigaikikyokagome (8 months ago)
if you practice a lot of groundwork or showmanship, you won't need a bridle at all. you might try a hackamore as a "start fresh" for bridling.
Ignorance can show in many ways.
But you're right - he has never trained specifically for bridle-less. The stallion was 6 years old when this was filmed; it was the FIRST time he'd been asked to do a reining run without a bridle. There was no "training specific to bridle-less" at all. He was trained with the snaffle, then hackamore & was just moving into bridle category of competition as a 6 yr old. This was filmed 6 yrs ago before the art of "bridle-less" gained attention.
WOW!! you go appy!
Great Vid. Where'd you find it? (get it)(film It) I am training a appie gelding and he slides but doesn't spin. Woot I got reserve champion in showmanship at this show I went to.
Good trainer
YOR High Noon is a few spot leopard - so is a 100% color producer. He does not have any spots - or perhaps you could think of it as he is covered with one big white spot ! Visit our site to see his colorful offspring at reining-appaloosa dot com
nice ride! :)
High Noon is ridden once in awhile - ranchwork or trail riding. We show lots of his offspring. Visit our website to see them at reining-appaloosa dot com (This message program won't let me write the web address the correct way)
very nice pattern! cool horse too!
p.s. that annoucer was very annoying!
Yeah.. but neck reining and bridless reining are completely different. How many horses do you know that would not misbehave when they realized you didn't have their head?
Wait, I'm sorry... I meant it as a reply to a different comment. The one above by "kichigaikikyokagome" because he gave some bad advice. I think your video is great, I watched it when you first posted it. I do bridless with my mare and this video definitely was one of my first influences. Check out my video if you can, my mare is an appaloosa too!
I am curious why the lady filming this refered to the horse as "Casper". Is that his stable name?
Yes, YOR High Noon's barn name was Casper. The lady filming this is the owner of the stallion.
@@YORappaloosaThat is very interesting, cause I just met a horse, by the registered name of "Casper's Shadow". He's 17. would you happen to remember him?
damn...
lol - so would my 5 year old Mustang gelding!
No - a few spot leopard is definitely NOT considered a solid. It is more like he is "one big spot". High Noon has black mottled skin so genetically he is NOT a white horse (as they must have pink skin). He has black hair in his mane & tail.
