Add "wide" into the factor and I feel like a little kid on a draft horse... But riding many different horses,with all the various training issues, physical limitations (ie: stiffness, etc), has helped me gain so much confidence. Developing a 'long leg' didn't hurt, either (or as my teacher says.."Why are you scrunching...LONG LEG!). Anyway, great evaluation and assessment of this boy...it'll be interesting to read about his improvements after you get the opportunity to work him several days in a row!
