> Have you ridden many imported horses? If so did you find them all overly reactive to your leg? I would guess that from how you ride most of them would not be a problem for you but I don't know your experiences. > > Robyn
I know this question was not directed at me, but I will answer it, for myself. I have only ridden 7 imported horses from Iceland, so I have no where near the experience that Robin has. But it is interesting, out of the 7, 3 are sensitive, 3 are not, and 1 was what I would call medium. Now one of these is a world champion flying pace winner, one would think he was very sensitive, and if you did you would be wrong. He is very educated...if you make a mistake he does not respond to it at all...he only responds to the correct cues...which is great because wow, he can move out at an instant with the correct cue. I think its more than just training, I think its the individual horse as well...a mix of genetics and environment.
