And, Truman, some horses can never be trained to stay behind at a discreet 
distance.  I've ridden some of them.  They just seem so herd-bound that it 
causes terror in them should they be 25 feet behind the horse in front.  Or 
perhaps they are so dominant that they want to be leading.  I'm not saying 
it's ideal, but I never found the answer to dealing with that kind of horse. 
Fortunately, I don't have that problem in my current mount.
