Freedom in the Saddle - Horse Riding Wild West Style

Many people just dream of going horseback riding like in the days of the Wild West, with cowboys, rodeo-tricks and the romance of the camp fire. In reality western riding has become increasingly recognised as a serious sport as well as a leisure activity.

This film examines the unique history of this specialist style of horse-riding and shows the extraordinary bond that exists between horse and
rider, from the work of cowboys in the Wild West to today's tournament
and hobby riders. Horse lovers and trainers explain how, through this style of riding, they have maintained their love of the Wild West.
