Richard Davison further explains his method of getting the horse more forward in the trot. Carl talks about riding tense and explosive horses who are behind the bit and how to deal with that. Phoebe explains how she is working with a horse at home who doesn't have a great walk, and Peter offers suggestions for a rider who has one hand stronger than the other.
