Lead Changes

See also: lead change

Lead changes are the most important part of competition, though they are not all that the horse is judged on.

The horse is to be responsive and quiet.

Famous quotes containing the word lead:

    None can lead this life who are not almost amphibious.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We shall do better to abandon the whole attempt to learn the truth ... unless we can trust to the human mind’s having such a power of guessing right that before very many hypotheses shall have been tried, intelligent guessing may be expected to lead us to one which will support all tests, leaving the vast majority of possible hypotheses unexamined.
    Charles S. Pierce (1839–1914)
