I use a "S" hack on Charlie.  He's very biddable;
reining and stopping is no problem.  I *do* catch
myself hanging on his face but he reminds me with a
mighty head toss.

Some claim a hack kills the nasal nerves; I guess it
can.  I've not had the experience...yet.  Perhaps
Charlie keeps me off his face which prevents me from
killing those nerves...?

Try a hack on one of the later loops to see if you
like it.  Yes, I know...you're supposed to try it at
home first.  OK...do that.  But if you want to know if
it REALLY works in competition, try it on a later loop
(when Pony is a little tired).

There's my .02...keep the change! LOL!!
