Hi Hardy,
 as you are handy here, and reading emails, let me bug you a little on my
little pair. This figure 8 exercise a the walk --that allows the driver to
bend the inside horse wi the inside rein:  it requires that the outside
horse drop out of draft (a bit)... my problem is that my little black mare
is a workaholic, and when i ask the grey to step up more, her partner says
"not without me!" (although it works beautifully in the other direction- the
little grey would happily sit on the seat beside me, i think, with her feet
up.)
  I have been working them straight down the road, and making working at
keeping them straight on the pole, and not bulging away, (as i had been
allowing.)  This has helped improve work on circles -- but is there another
way for me to ask for more bend from the one, yet with the other insisting
on pulling as well?
  I recall that the exercise worked beautifully in our clinic but I have
been unable to reproduce it, exactly...although yesterday we were closer.
