I'm curious - when you say lateral balance is determined with ONE rein and no leg - does this mean when you're on a right circle you're just using the inside rein? And no inside leg? This seems opposite of what I've been taught, but if it works I want to know! :) Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862898176284766826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-637851304685794782014-11-26T18:29:33.267-08:002014-11-26T18:29:33.267-08:00...based in Florida?

It's how I get Pig to give into lateral flexion so I can get him to relax and work all the way through, otherwise he gets stuck at the base of his neck. <br /><br />It's great to feel like you can see where you're headed!Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.com
