Summary:Hey, CHECK! (If an Arabian/Quarter Horse pinto pony ridden by a vintage-plus amateur wasn't at the far end of that bell-shaped curve, I'd eat my hat.) They DID NOT want "the perfect horse" and DID want training issues that might reasonably be encountered by the average auditor. Close my fingers on the reins; maintain soft contact (not our usual slack, contact, slack, contact, slack); keep my hands within the "work area" (a small imaginary box above Tucker's withers) and this was keyturn my inside wrist as if I'm holding the ignition key and starting the car, so my fingernails face up and my pinky finger is toward my outside hip. [...] think about the Training Scale and check your basics.\n A lot of Sunday's session was about checking results.
