I ...When I read this, my first thought was Racinet. I think he advocates the "plier of thumb-index finger, with hand "ajar", fingers able to open and close. Not sure which book, I think "Another Horsemanship"<BR/><BR/>It should be intersting Trudi, knowing your "aversion" to Racinet.

The only hope I have at the moment is Racinet (and I'm not THAT struck on him) but I've tried Baucher, L'Hotte, Belasik, Seunig, Burger et al and no-one describes what my lastest teachings have been. The fingers can rest open, the rein caught just between the thumb and forefinger; I always used my fingers before but not in such a colurful way as this. I'll find it somewhere but if you find it first let me know, loltrudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741901033691017922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941114342119019309.post-88440767760415140672009-01-18T00:10:00.000+01:002009-01-18T00:10:00.000+01:00i think that's the problem with most instruction -...i think that's the problem with most instruction - instructors SAY hands when what they mean is FINGERS<BR/><BR/>i have read it somewhere, can't quite remeber where - but a BHS II told me about fingers some years ago ... not that i can ALWAYS remember!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888698683201580237noreply@blogger.com
