Neisti, Bitless, Bareback

Riding Neisti, Icelandic Horse, bareback and bitless:

The Sweet Spot / Where the Rider Should Sit

How does the rider's placement and position affect the horse and his gaits?

In this picture / video, where is the rider sitting? Is it a symbiotic place for the horse?

What are the positive and / or negative aspects of the placement of the rider on this horse?

Where is the "sweet spot"?

Equitrekking Video

Again the Icelandic Horse is stated to be a horse and not a pony. Untrue. It is a pony, mtDNA'd to other pony breeds. See the Pony Article.

Also in this video, will be seen the usual fighting of the bit.

Something needs to change for these horses! Less contact, no bits, no nosebands, better trained trainers, better riders, more knowledge of horsemanship.
