Welcome Mary! I read this and had a quick pause and thought.."Oh boy, a
new word to learn from the dressage world!"... and then I realized
"nehance" was just a typo. Oh well, I already picked up the new term
"Stall courage" today.  I kinda like the sound of nehance though. :-)

O.K. Hypothetical question for someone with a classical background. How
often do you change your diagonal on a fairly streight trail?  I've heard
some say every tenth of a mile or so. I've heard someone say, "every time
I see a marker". Melissa Crain told me she changes EVERY SIX BEATS!  I
couldn't believe it, but when I told Josie about that she decided she
would (she idolizes Melissa) and she has actually engrained that into her
riding.  I tried it and to tell the truth, it's kinda habit forming, and
if you've got a difficult diagonal to ride, you can at least do it for
six beats at a time.  How about ya'll?

I think I'll invent a new word & definition:  Nehance...the cadence to
which you change your diagonal. :-))
