Michael, my 51 year old husband, also took his first ever riding lesson with Shirley at Karen's last month. He said the most helpful thing she told him helped him to learn to 'steer', something he always complained about when riding Cassie. She told him to look at and focus on the spot he wanted to ride to. Once he did that he could get Falki to go where he wanted to go, even weaving in and out of barrels. I had given him less helpful details like 'use press and release' etc. None of the details help if you don't have the basics down. -- Anna
