If anyone asks, I was always taught to let the rest of my line drag so I don't always have to fumble with it and worry about getting caught around my hand. Its always worked for me...never had any problems with it. It just makes it easier to gather the extra line up or slide out some slack when its needed.




Yay!!! Thank you for sharing!!! I'll be starting Gus this summer and so look forward to these type of posts. Did she buck or sashay or anything? What a good hay-flutterer-watcher!
I also "play it by ear" with the excess lung line. I too sometimes let it down, depending on: horses attitude, footing, MY balance on any given day, and obstacles present - like other riders.
