Geeze, Irene, that post came across as being rather harsh...  Crossing the
reins does not hurt the horse any more than a direct rein and it does work
OK.  That's exactly how I was taught to do it in 4-H eons ago when I rode
western in local itty bitty shows and it made sense to my horse - she
learned it just fine.  No need to blast Hope over a training method she
recommended.  If you have a different idea, just post it.

Off to shut up and ride for the weekend -
