Terry;

Great advice!  I am the one always touting the John Lyons methods on RC and I 
don't JL himself could have said it any better!  Figure out what your goal 
is, break the process down into steps and don't have preconceived idea that 
what we are asking is going to freak out the horse.  NOTHING we do is 
"normal" to the horse so another crazy request isn't going to be a big deal.  
Thanks for the input.
