This is a tough call, and that is exactly what the "Horse Illustrated"
article warned against. I too, mostly just forget to let go of the
reins, but my grip isn't very close to the headstall either, so I end up
hitting the ground at a run usually and can stop my horse.

That clumsy gelding I mentioned in a previous post was only 13.3 and
inbred. He traced to the same stallion several times close up in
father/daughter and brother/sister matings. That stallion by the way,
is a legend in the showring. This horse was very pretty, but couldn't
trot himself out of a paper bag! He became a lot less pretty in my eyes
as I got to know him...Pretty is as pretty does.
