> 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.
