I am a very green rider, and Big John is a really big horse, so at the lope, his range of movement is probably a foot to a foot and a half. He absolutely scared the crap out of me at the horse show, thundering in at a full gallop when we were just supposed to trot in.Dan Hendersonhttp://geekwithahorse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32796999.post-21235528735905248722011-11-13T17:58:38.177-08:002011-11-13T17:58:38.177-08:00I think you've got a good list to work with.

I've got more allowing work to do with her at the trot, first, until, as Mark told me, we can just slip into the canter without it changing anything.
