I'm a bona fide poster - maybe it's from years of hunters and dressage - or
maybe not - but I am very comfortable posting. I do stand occassionally
when Tony hits the BIG trot - ya know the one that you *can't* post to -
other than that I post. I two-point it at the canter.

never done one - hope to next year -

>>Do you tail?, and why?
I've tailed twice - once almost lost the horse - he got to the top saw some
other riders and took off at a trot with me skiiing behind. The other time
he was sufficiently tired so that didn't happen again. I think if I go
somewhere that I know I'll probably have to tail - I will *practice* it at
home first <vbg>

>>What does it take to make that leap, or is it just a bigggg step?
I'm real interested in hearing all the responses on this too!
