I went to a John Lyons clinic a couple of years ago. He had with him (for sale) a John Lyons protégé-trained horse. He put a bridle on the horse, with reins and had him doing various things in the roundpen. While John was talking, the horse was sniffing around on the ground, and the reins were soon dragging on the ground. Everyone in the audience was on the edge of the seat, worrying about the horse stepping on the reins, just inches away from the bit. John was unconcerned. His theory was that the horse was trained to deal with such things. If his head were trapped down, he would just hold it down until rescued. Gail ? I do not worry about him stepping on his rope?(whether it be 12`, 22`or 45`).? ?
