That's pretty much how Cara and I work through things. Cara is probably 100 lbs and is a nicely balanced rider, so she starts the babies. She gives me directions, and I follow through with what ever she says, and all the while she's giving signals with her legs and using light reinforcement with the reins (if she happens to have them). That said....ground driving is so valuable..I can't even tell you how valuable it is... Have you ground driven Nasi much Janice? I wish we all could be there and pull up lawn chairs and tell you all our wonderful wise thoughts from the sidelines... Wanda
