Yes. The trouble is you *can*, and that's what most people do, because they don't have the tools to do much else. I did it. I was only just learning to do otherwise when I had to stop riding (how annoying is that)

He's incorrect in the same way that most modern dressage horses are, just currently he's the best out of that bunch. Over-active mouth (you can see his teeth bared very frequently), unvarying frame which means the legs are being flung in the extensions, even if not as spidery as T was (T had a...

No, but some does! Does she need to demonstrate a collection of noxious behaviours? And intention also matters. She wanted to hit the horse (who has clearly been damaged by her experiences of this sort of thing, whether CDJ alone or more probably others too for which we have no evidence) harder...
