He has an independent seat!  And he is bold.  Impressive rider.

I love this video. I have worked with Richard and one of his horses who had a major mounting problem, he is quite a rider. I love his decision in this clip...and his confidence in the horse. I have also watched him jump a course withoutstirrups. The day before the class he had suffered a bad fall while warming up a young mare for a futures class and injured his leg. He ended up going clean on one of his mounts, Robinson. He chose to use his stirrups in the jump off and qualified for the World Cup Finals. He later made a visit to the doctor and discovered the fibula was indeed broken.
