How Tight is your Horse's Noseband?
(Preview)
I adjust my horse's noseband according to what we are doing that day. When I am just going on a hack it is a bit on the loose side, but we are just walking along. When I am in a lesson and I am looking for a quicker response I have the nose band more snug. NOT TIGHT, but more snug. What about you?

What have been your best/worst clinic experiences?
(Preview)
And what made them so good/bad? I had a very good experience with John Lassiter.
