Fjóla has been trained that way. Always with short rein and non-moving hands (actually I was told to hold the saddle to keep my hands in one place...). I still have a long way to go with her, she's a young horse and gets very insecure when I do something she's not used to. So some days I really can't follow her movement with my hands and I've never been able to ride her with long rein (not even walk). Krisse
