This is an interesting view...I took a centered riding lesson once with
Malik.  I learned that he can drop his head and relax...if I drop MY head
and relax.  I was riding with my head too far "up" which was causing my neck
aches.  I learned to tip my head as if balancing a feather on my helmet
instead of holding up a piano and oila!  Malik will drop his head and relax,
too.  I also had some issues from having come off a couple of times in deep
sand or nasty footing.  She taught me to look ahead down the trail...took a
LOT of practice but now I can tell Malik "Watch your feet" without grimacing
and expecting a stumble and he can trot and canter through footing which
would have made me pee my pants two years ago!  But it took a lot of
practice...MENTAL and PHYSICAL!!  And if I fail to visualize anything but
success through this kind of footing, YUP, he will trip or stumble!!!  :)
