A horse rider named Jesse attempts to jump a horse, Antares, for the first time without a bridle. It's the second video after jumping with Andorra without a bridle and earning millions of views.

Three jumps have been set up in the arena, but they are not very high. The horse will have a bareback saddle for some cushioning but no neck rope or bridle for the series of three jumps.

Jesse rarely jumps with Antares but is confident that the horse is ready and responsive. The first attempt is made at the cross jump, where the horse makes a series of successful jumps amid one run-through.

The horse can perform a hold even without the bridle and neck rope. The attempts at the second jump are equally successful. The horse makes two successive jumps on a series of hurdles.

Antares, the horse, shows no refusal and uses proper technique at the third jump. The videographer alerts viewers to whether Jesse has complete control of the horse.

The jumps are raised a notch higher, and the horse is still able to jump without hesitation. In one instance, the horse jumps and panics before bolting off. Jesse quickly regains control.

The first time Antares is making a series of jumps. The horse performs brilliantly and doesn't stop. The horse can listen and follow commands despite getting excited.
