i wasn't there, but i suspect my student's inattention lasted rather longer than that. stjarni does do fine with this in the ring, but he is definitely on the "goey" side and would far rather gallop than graze, especially given that this is winter in new england and there isn't any grass. however, even if he never does go bridle-less on the trail, we're definitely having a fun and interesting time playing with it in the ring, and i have no intention of stopping our experimentation with it. --vicka
