Thank you for posting

Really interesting and beautiful pictures, how interesting that they are only worked for 30 minutes. Though I realise its the Guardian and everything cannot be taken as the Gospel! As in - horse being led from behind

Great pictures. I'm amazed at how close they stand behind the horse for long reining.

The closer you are the more the horse will tuck away from you and less impact should they kick, and the horses will all be very well trained in keeping legs away from people.
