Ah mud, splendid
I've seen a few children recently who, in their effort to get their ponies to go 'on the bit' are using the reins to 'saw' at the pony's mouth. I don't mean jiggling the reins a bit - I mean moving their hands alternately backwards and forwards by about 5 inches.
I was just wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to where that comes from? Because these are kids who are going to PC rallies and having weekly lessons and yet don't seem to get pulled up for it, unless they are just doing it out of sight. It is something that I find very bizarre that a child to start doing, because I have absolutely no doubt that if I had done that as a kid I would have been told to get off the pony.
So yeh - I just thought it might help with my tongue biting if I knew where it actually came from.
