Sharon,
Thank you so much for posting!!! I was a spectator at the 3-day in Stephenville and saw first hand how horses and riders bunched into herds at the one-rein stop at trot and canter/lope. The next day the riders and horses were much better and more relaxed Staying to see how the second day of loping w/o steering was better, helped me feel like it is possible to prepare and to reap the benefits like you have. I will be working to find more opportunities to practice the method in group settings prior to a clinic attendance!!!
Thank you!
