> It was good except for stopping. I like to stop. LOL Me too! The best way to get a horse to stop is by teaching it what a one-rein stop is, so it becomes automatic. Now on a runaway horse, Judy just posted a great article on that about *riding* a runaway horse as opposed to trying to stop it. The article also pointed out that a one-rein stop in that situation can be dangerous, as it can cause the horse to run into something or even fall over. I don't think I'd use a one-rein stop at anything faster than a trot/gait. But so far I've managed to diffuse any problems before I needed to even do that.
