Wonderful picture, and timely for me. I watched part of a girl's riding lesson a few days ago. She was headed off to the state finals for her high school equestrian team and her coach was giving her some last minute pointers. Her mare wasn't working the way they wanted and the coach had Ashley back that mare the complete length of the arena (about the size of a dessage court). The mare was very resistant, head up, mouth wide open. It was hard to see exactly what they had accomplished.
