with that in order to collect her."

I'd be interested in that too.  I always felt that Suni improved so much
from the hill work that he used himself most efficiently if I rode on the
buckle.  He never showed any back soreness during the rides, but, of course,
that's only a brief window into the whole thing.  Anyway, can you use hill
work to supplement arena dressage?
