BABES LITTLE TWISTER

      Trail classes use a lot of poles in the pattern.  Horses need to be able to negotiate the poles, have a correct cadence and steady pace.
      Babe has a habit of four-beating at the lope.  The poles will help her learn to lope properly.
      Cathy Hanson, trainer of AQHA World Champion trail horses is helping me with the exercise.  Cathy teaches the online courses Preparation for Competition and Showmanship in Hand for www.horsecoursesonline.com. 
      Cathy is writing a course about training a trail horse and it will be available soon.
