On this page: http://iceryder.net/charmcookierun.html there are two videos of Charm and Cookie. In the first video, Charm does a soft canter up the hill from the back. Cookie is doing her variation which is a little different. In the second video, they are both running much faster. I would hope and am pretty sure that Charm will do her soft canter with a rider. She won't be confined or framed by hands or equipment. It's there, so we'll just allow and encourage. Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
