Riding at Liberty with that Flag best day Everrrr Years ago I was gifted a Retired registered blind Show Stallion. He was so well trained and loved by his first owner that I rode him in a parade and then down the shoulder of the road carrying the flag in honor of a nephew we lost in Afghanistan He’s gone now but I will never forget you Slicker!!
I have tons of respect for what she does she my idol, I look up to her. I do natural horsemanship and ride areback and bridless most of the time, and I think it gives you a unbreakable bond between you and your horse, everyone should experience a bond like this. Stacy you are amazing.
Roxy died 2-08-2012. She was in foal, and became cast in her stall. She did get up, but succumbed to the injuries she got from thrashing around to get up. The foal died too. R.I.P. Whizards Baby Doll aka "Roxy!
Devon! Thats an incredible place! Just discovered it last fall. Caught a part of the new fall show. Didn't realize the welcome class was olympic level jumpers! Wow. Seen Stacey Plenty. Devon is a real honor for her.
I have a reining mare named Roxy and she goes completely tackless and does reining like Stacy's Roxy. My horse had a foal too; its so sad that this lovely horse never got to deliver
@SinanUnur Correct me if I'm wrong but most riders have the flag straight up and down, putting the pole in their boot to help steady it. The pole on the flag may be too thick or heavy to do that in Stacy's case which is probably why she's holding it wrong. Or personal preference. I don't know, maybe she likes the sideways effect with the turns better?
Roxy is so amazing!!! Most horses are terrified of flags, but she's so calm, licking her lips and head relaxed the whole time.. It does look a but funny with just the saddle tho hahaa
I read the link thingy, and it said she "sustained traumatic injury after apparently becoming cast in her stall sometime during the night of Feb. 5." What's that mean?
@MangoRoX87 If INDEED you're on some sort of drill team, as you mentioned, then surely you would know that the "ornament on the top of the flag" pole is called a TRUCK and not an "ornament" as you refer to it here. Actually, it's properly called a "finial." A "truck" is the bolt that holds the finial to the pole, but has become commonly used to refer to the finial, especially in military communities.
@MangoRoX87 Id like to see you try to ride a horse without reins, going fast and then to slow with a huge crowd. yeah dont diss just because u cant do it, that took a lot of work , she spent many hours with that horse. that dont happen over night.
@SinanUnur You never, EVER let the flag dip in any direction. You keep the flag in a flag boot on your right side, not your left:) There should always be some form of an ornament on top of the flag (ball, eagle, arrow). Never back up with the flag (historically, this is a sign of retreat). And how she held in on her pivots.....ugh. Lol not being rude, I'm just on a drill team and get this drilled into my head every time we ride with American flags. It kind of becomes an OCD:)
@ShawtyKissnTell I'll do it, just not the bridless part. I am not stupid, I know my horse couldn't do that. She is 21 and years of hard team ropers hands from past owners have done their damage.. Infact, big crowds don't scare me. I've riden at the AQHA World and NRHA National Fut. shows the past two years with my drill team. I am not dissing. I completely respect her, I think she is an AMAZING rider. I was just making a point that she is disrespecting the flag.
@MangoRoX87 In demonstration one may retreat without bringing disgrace to the flag, you, or for which it is that you stand for, in this case Stacey is not "carrying the flag" she's "demonstrating the horse". And after watching this great video, all you saw was the flag, then you lost the true meaning of the video. To dip the flag, to lower it and quickly restore it to its place; - is done as a mark of respect.; I didn't see Stacey "Dip The Flag".
@battousaiblade o.O no I was saying riding on the beach would be like heaven..... unless you were avoiding that knowledge to prove a point then nvm cool.
@badback64 Yes, it's an amazing performance, but still, she isn't holding it wrong. Kinda sad when you do a tribute to America, and you severely disrespect the flag.
Roxy will always live forever in the hearts that she has touched!! Such a great amazing mare!! Tears for Roxy and Staci!!
Both are so talented. Makes me proud to be an American cowboy !!!!!!!!!!
R.I.P. Roxy, she was so gorgeus and amazing I can't believe she passed away..
I have seen her do this bareback. She is incredible!!!
RIP Roxy! Such an amazing horse.

I'm so sorry about roxy
I think this show and video was so cool
that horse is the best horse in the world
imagine riding that horse bridleless in the ocean!!
Roxy is so amazing!!! Most horses are terrified of flags, but she's so calm, licking her lips and head relaxed the whole time..
It does look a but funny with just the saddle tho hahaa
OMG poor Roxy R.I.P
i know its so cool i wished i could still do that
I read the link thingy, and it said she "sustained traumatic injury after apparently becoming cast in her stall sometime during the night of Feb. 5."
What's that mean?
so cool
The story of Roxy's death is linked in my note right under the video.
Ok, when she goes from the lope to the next speed, does she go from canter to gallop or slow canter to fast canter, i cant quite tell.
You can tell with the legs with a canter there is one leg going more forward and with a gallop it's sort of like nyan cat
@Cloud9ryder when bridless is accompanied by a saddle, i agree...but bareback and bridless looks beautiful, i think.
Did you win Stacy. XXXXX
How do you change leads in the canter?
It’s called a flying lead change. Most people shift their weight to the outside and ask the horse for the opposite lead.
WHO DISLIKED?
:) GO STACEY!
rip roxy
what's that mean??
How is she holding the flag wrong?
i think that horses are the most beateefull things ever :):::::::::
Horse knows her leg cues.
how did roxie pass away???
Awesome !! I'm seeing Stacey Westfall perform next weekend !! in Canada. hmmm I wonder if she'll carry a Canadian flag for us .. ? lol Can't wait
I watched her and Roxy on the Ellen show! It is awesome, they put Ellen on Roxy!
@4evrhorses Actually she does bareback and bridless reining also:)
Cast means that she was rolling in her stall and got stuck with her legs next to the wall and got injured.

i want a horse like Roxy. my horse wont listen even remotly close to this with a bridle lol
@msdyrdek7 Stacy said she trained Roxy for like 5 years..
How far along in her pregnance was she here?
@HavvahartKL lol I agree, I didn't mean naked in any sort of negative faction, I was just meaning different in a silly way ^_^
Yes, Roxy passed away this year. The video is from 2010. See bit.ly / zr42QD for the story.
OMG!
@SinanUnur your supposed to hold it on the right straight up. :)
Roxy passed away this year. The video is from 2010. See bit.ly / zr42QD for the story.

👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖
Stacy Westfall and Roxy.... An example of equestrian at its finest...
My Birthday is May 30!! :DD
@Appaloosalicious1 yeah riding on the beach is heaven
god i WILL be able to do that. might take a couple years but im gonna do it!!!!
poor roxy =((
@HunterJumperHank wait what happened to her?!
@Cloud9ryder of course not! I appreciate it tho :)
@HorseLuvaWWELuva true. that horse is amazingg.
@MangoRoX87 Id like to see you try to ride a horse without reins, going fast and then to slow with a huge crowd. yeah dont diss just because u cant do it, that took a lot of work , she spent many hours with that horse. that dont happen over night.
@MangoRoX87 it depends on when she turned
@SinanUnur You never, EVER let the flag dip in any direction. You keep the flag in a flag boot on your right side, not your left:) There should always be some form of an ornament on top of the flag (ball, eagle, arrow).

Lol not being rude, I'm just on a drill team and get this drilled into my head every time we ride with American flags. It kind of becomes an OCD:)
omg that was a fast horse
thats the grand entry song for my rodeo
whoa! even at a full gallop that is amazing
@Cloud9ryder oh no, i understand completely what you meant! :P
I would die if i could ever ride that horse. I WOULD DIE!
now that is a horse people need.
@bigloverxD Wait what?
@ShawtyKissnTell I'll do it, just not the bridless part. I am not stupid, I know my horse couldn't do that. She is 21 and years of hard team ropers hands from past owners have done their damage..

I completely respect her, I think she is an AMAZING rider. I was just making a point that she is disrespecting the flag.
Unfortunately, the foal, a colt died too
@MangoRoX87 ....ok no hard feelings....i was just moved by the performance...
@MangoRoX87 ....why would you even say that? this is an epic preformance...i mean honestly!!!
@Appaloosalicious1 no on the ocean. like the movie "the black stallion!" thats how she first got into riding like me!
22 people now...I am not one of them.
I love the concept of bridleless riding and I have much respect for it but the horses always look naked lol
some QH are so barrel like, makes them look chubby, and completely on the forehand.
wow well done,can i do that??????????? lol
maybe in another lifetime, fantastic horsewomanship
Am I the only one that notices she is holding the flag wrong? XD
@MangoRoX87 In demonstration one may retreat without bringing disgrace to the flag, you, or for which it is that you stand for, in this case Stacey is not "carrying the flag" she's "demonstrating the horse".

@battousaiblade o.O no I was saying riding on the beach would be like heaven..... unless you were avoiding that knowledge to prove a point then nvm cool.
Mine too. wheres your rodeo?
Is that roxy
Yes, that is Roxy.
nice horse
@badback64 Yes, it's an amazing performance, but still, she isn't holding it wrong. Kinda sad when you do a tribute to America, and you severely disrespect the flag.
@Cloud9ryder its because naked is how they used to be... wild and free
