My new years resolution was to quit nagging Star. Note to self... Expect explosive results when you go from nagging to one good quick whack. ;) I was ground driving her, she decided she wanted to eat, and I told her to walk on. She ignored me, I touched my whip to her haunches, and she ignored it, so I whacked her. We learned that she can canter in the driving lines, I can keep up for a short time, and thankfully she stopped pretty quick! Steph -- "Brutality begins where skill ends."
