I think that's a good point. Another thing, and this is just me, is that we generally don't even ask the horse to do anything above a walk while we're in the stage where someone is riding and someone else is leading. Maybe I'm slow, (maybe? Ha...) but I wait until the horse is pretty comfortable at carry a rider without a leader to ask for any gait. But, isn't it just the best to see Dagur, so soon into his riding time, offering a nice, soft gait, and one so darned close to the middle of the spectrum? He'll only get better with time and patience. Isn't that just the best? Karen Thomas, NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
