I think you missed the point so I'll say it a little firmer, it is not a good advertisement for a sale horse, except along the lines of 'look how stupid I can be and the horse didn't kill me'. The lunge line hanging all over is dangerous, it's very sloppy and you're asking for trouble!
I did not miss your point. The horse is a saint and takes care of the rider - NATURALLY. If you read the print NOWHERE does it advertise ME for sale. The horse behaved SENSIBLY despite imperfections in the trainer's technique.
Watch how you let your lunge line hang down before you the horse - you're going to have one serious accident some day. The idea of backing the horse yourself while you hold a lunge line is a little scary too.
You have a very valid point. I was not planning to get on her at that session. She was just so ready ... and it was my last chance before maternity leave. Luckily she thinks being ridden is great and never tries to get the rider off! She is really a very awesome horse. :)
