Oh yes.  I also rode under a dressage instructor who would sometimes ask me 
to "Set my hands" .  Some of the riders in these pictures took that 
instruction to heart.  Of course, the arms and hands were still in that 
straight line from the elbow position.  She also wouldn't let me move my arm 
to shorten or adjust rein length.
