I also found it interesting that folks don't practice the log skid. I know that when I'm getting my donkey ready for "snigging" classes, we only practice it a couple of times---as much to get my "timing" back as anything! Shadow seems to "remember the drill" much better than I do. My guess is that, if you practice too much, the animal starts to anticipate the turns, rather than listening for your directions as to when to turn.
