When riding in the hunt field, I was told by old timers it is better to
have a little more than is necessay. If you don't need it you don't use
it. There is always the insident when something rattles you horse and he
could run through the bit. Trining is not going to save you there.
Flight is all that is on his mind. It is perferable without causing pain
but my life depends on my control and if it tkes a litle pain then so be
it!!!
