This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Paula, I will have to dig out that article. You make the point again of inattentive. I ride with my horse on the bit at all times unless we are stretching down or free after a lesson or workout. Also re our horses being big built in front, this does not mean that the leaner ones will not also trip. I wonder if western riders have more trouble with tripping as they ride a loose rein????
