Everywhere I go—whether it’s to clinics, expos, conferences or just riding with friends—there are riders working on mastering the canter.

I was really surprised at how smoothly everything was going, i.e., longeing, saddling, trailer loading, etc. He is very even tempered, but LAZY!! Can you tell where this is headed? I really had to push […]
