IME, the problem comes when you are riding far enough behind the  
frontrunning horse that he KNOWS you're there but doesn't consider you  
to be riding WITH him.  The frontrunning horse then spends half his  
energy going forward and the other half worrying about whether he  
should wait for the horse behind him.  Maybe not all horses react this  
way, but when they do, it is exhausting for both horse and rider!
