Plus, they can better take in the rider's body language and facial expressions. Thanks so much for sharing!<br />––LisaLisa Wysockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012833103454969838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977994828766022340.post-76063965444950573852015-03-12T19:27:58.891-07:002015-03-12T19:27:58.891-07:00Great article Sarah :) I did something similar wi...Great article Sarah :) I did something similar with a young girl I was teaching on her OTTB who kept running off on her. She was so passive with him that she never even got mad at him for running away on her and it was getting progressively dangerous, so I had her spend a lesson doing leading patterns (and made her mother do them too). She went away and practiced the exercises and when she came back to riding again a week later, she had a different horse under her.
