Watching this clip over and over again all the time. Cries of joy every time I see it because it is so beautiful! R.I.P Roxy! amazzzing horse. Love to you Stacy
Brought tears to my eyes. I used to ride bridleless in my field growing up. At the time I thought it was no big deal. When you're young you understand that unspoken communication between an animal and a human better than you do when you get older. I now appreciate how unique that kind of trust and communication is. This is beautiful.
Tears are running down my face to think the pressure that was on her at this moment to do everything so perfect. For the love she has for her Dad.. Love It
Stacy Westfall is an AWESOME rider. I would love to see her in person someday. She sounds like a remarkable person as well. She dedicated this ride to her father who had just passed away a couple weeks prior.
There are very few videos that have brought tears to my eyes the way this one did. I had goosebumps throughout the entire video! Amazing...simply amazing!!!
What an incredible tribute to her father, and less than a month after he passed. This lady does easily (or makes it look that way) what others work a lifetime to do. With tack, of course!
just started doing bareback and brideless with one of my horses, so proud of him so far we have all of of transitions, circles and roll backs, still trying spins. i have to give him most of the credit considering that he is one of the worlds most broke horses ever. he will never be another Roxy but i hope that one day he can be like her. it is sooooooo not as easy as it looks. i am a huge fan of stacy's and i love this video!
My thoughts and prayers are with you Stacy and for everyone that Roxy has touched. I was once again brought to tears watching this video. RIP Roxy, you will be missed.
To reach for the stars while here on earth! What a gift you and Roxy gave us. Like watching lyrical music in action. And most notably the love between companions. Thankyou Stacy.
Stacy I am so sorry for your loss i send my condolences you and my horse touched my heart many times Roxy will be greatly missed. You have inspired me many times just by watching your videos. Once again I am so sorry with love -Rebecca
Roxy was an amazing horse and Stacy truly had a bond with that horse like no other. My heart goes out to Stacy and may Roxy rest in peace. An amazing team, a joy to watch them perform. -3
it is also so hard to find a horse that you can have this kind of bond with. after watching this it brought tears to my eyes, and i never get emotional!
Amazing team... Though many of us didnt know these two, and a lot of us do many different diciplines wether its jumping dressage reining ect... this horse and rider all touched our hearts RIP roxy.
She's THAT good. This is just to show how well the horse is trained...listening to her leg, body and weight cues. Basically showing off, but I still love watching Stacy Westfall do freestyle!
Rest in peace Roxy, you will be missed. This has been one of my favorite video's for the last couple of years, Stacy and Roxy were such an inspiration to me! My heart and thoughts go out to Stacy and everybody that stood close to Roxy. These two had a very special connection.. -Niene
Absolutely loved it! Got this emailed about a month ago, different film angle though, sent it to all my horsey friends. Got all inspired so I went out to the barn, grabbed my black Quarter Horse mare, got on bareback, rode around for a while but couldn't take the halter off, Yes, I chickened out. Hehehehehe! Oh well I had a go! I loved it how Stacey didn't even have a dirty bum in white jeans, can't say the same for myself!
o my goood !!! i ever thougt thats uncradibble!!! i can't ride my horse without saddle, he's bucking -.- böut thats so unpossible i think i will never could do that with my horse!!! how long did she lorn that!!!??? it's so great! respect..
@CatchMeInADream Omg i didnt know that. The owners are in my prayers!!1 She was my favorite horse. I liked how stacy and her were doing stuff together always.
I'm gonna do a bareback bridless freestyle on my bucksin mare and a barebck freestyle, (both horsemanship, I can't do reining sadly) on my dun mare for Roxy, an amazing mare.
@BarrelsPolesandJack: I totally agree with you, they are an extra "umph" to the horse. The problem lies with idiots who don't know the proper way to use spurs.
well arn't you proud. go out there, on your 'tackless horse' with all the people cheering, and win champion. against all those other trainers. Go for it.
wow i can do a lot of stuff on horses, like walk , trot, canter, and gallop, but whenever i try to ride bareback on my horse.... i fall off, or i get bucked off.... ----By the way beautiful horse!
it kind of is a special class, freestyle reining is. stacy wasnt really showing off, she was proving a point that women can train horses just as good as men. and ever since this performance many people have been copying her just to say 'hey im gonna pull a stacy westfall'. i would do it to beat her score, as i am always looking for the next best thing. she a great rider and trainer but not the best
nothing is wrong with her back legs, it is just how she is built and how she moves. many reiners move like that. i thought that at first before i knew better. lol
Watch Roxy during the performance - she's constantly licking. That's a sign that she's relaxed. Amazing that she's as relaxed as she is during this performance - like it's just another day on the farm.
Seriously, it doesn't matter how many time I watch this: Tears and goose bumps EVERY time!!! Such a pleasure to watch....
Watching this clip over and over again all the time. Cries of joy every time I see it because it is so beautiful! R.I.P Roxy! amazzzing horse. Love to you Stacy
I've seen this countless times. I tear up every time I see it. Amazing bond! I will see Stacey In Calif. Aug. 27 and 28 ... Can't wait.

Never get tired of watching this. ❤
It's been around 15 years since I saw this and I still cry my guts out with this video.
Tears are running down my face to think the pressure that was on her at this moment to do everything so perfect. For the love she has for her Dad..

Congrats on the breyer Roxy and Stacy!!!!!

Teamwork at its best. RIP lovely girl. Part of the team is now missing. Long time before that job vacancy will be filled. =0(
that is awsome
seriously how can two people not like this? haha
Awesome that was really cool...Im sorry for the horse
Someone knows the name of the video music????
the horses show/registered name is Baby Doll and its stable name is roxy
PHENOMINAL
amazing..
@CatchMeInADream of course on my birthday!!poor girl!
I want Stacey to train me in reining....we both live in Ohio lol. I've ridden Western my whole life but I really want reining instruction from her
Haha, I know, I have to use spurs for a few horses i work with but it seems she has such a great bond with her horse that she doesn't really need them
She did awesome at the equine Affaire!
@sassycowgirl, she and Roxy were awarded a record breaking score of 231.
That was beautiful, and I agree horse is not lame. Was that a special class for bareback riding or is she just THAT good? :)
@shelbieshelbs when horses lick it means they are thinking and processing information so basically its a good thing
alas the million dollar ride!
~~~Dortae~~~
Me too. So sorry Roxy is gone. :(
in am inspired by her:)
RIP roxy:( an amazing horse3
go stacy yeah go roxy
this is for you tambo!
@shelbieshelbs It's a sign of submission. It basically means that he's paying attention to her and following her cues.
She wasn't even feeling well that day, her kids had the flu and she was starting to get it too so this victory was probably extra sweet :)
@BarrelsPolesandJack haha, I meant to give you a thumbs up! lol
@Valerieke79 She's not deaf dude...where did you hear that???
in reining alot of horses pin there ears back and swish there tail numerous of times. they listen very carefully.
I'm gonna do a bareback bridless freestyle on my bucksin mare and a barebck freestyle, (both horsemanship, I can't do reining sadly) on my dun mare for Roxy, an amazing mare.
Does anyone know what her score was for this run?
@gibbygirl89 me too!!! :)
@BarrelsPolesandJack: I totally agree with you, they are an extra "umph" to the horse. The problem lies with idiots who don't know the proper way to use spurs.
I can't believe she could do that i ride my horse bareback but I'd me freaked out during then
well arn't you proud. go out there, on your 'tackless horse' with all the people cheering, and win champion. against all those other trainers. Go for it.
@kristinb026 RIGHT
wow i can do a lot of stuff on horses, like walk , trot, canter, and gallop, but whenever i try to ride bareback on my horse.... i fall off, or i get bucked off.... ----By the way beautiful horse!

Pinning
She's definitely not deaf or mute! :( I have heard her speak before!...Damn rumors!
RIP Whizards Baby Doll :(
@AntonioCarlos030393 Live Like You Were Dying by Tim McGraw
What happened to Roxy?
She isnt deaf!!....i wanna learn to do that!!
nothing is wrong with her back legs, it is just how she is built and how she moves. many reiners move like that. i thought that at first before i knew better. lol
Watch Roxy during the performance - she's constantly licking. That's a sign that she's relaxed. Amazing that she's as relaxed as she is during this performance - like it's just another day on the farm.
