>>Functionally, why does this work? What effect does it have on the >>position of the horse's body and why does that cause him to move into >>tolt? I'm not being argumentative. I just do better when I understand >>the body mechanics involved. I am sorry but I don't know how or why it works, but it really, really worked. I don't even know why David chose that particular method. He did say something about helping her just step into tolt. I am quite ignorant of the whole gait deal (but trying to learn quickly!). Penny
