I was kinda standing in the center, and Bay would just keep coming in to me and stopping...

When ecurbh trotted the first couple times, Bay kept just turning and trotting right up to me and stopping. ecurbh had to work it to keep him in a circle.

I know Bay is dead broke and will never buck, but he doesn't 'know' as many of the finer things a school horse should know. He doesn't have a nice steady jog-trot, and he doesn't neck rein well... you really have to two hand him.

My instructor had to stand back because her school horses would come up to her and stop too. She called it "looking for momma".

He's an endurance horse right? See, I don't think trail horses really ever neck rein anyway. I've had/seen horses that necked rein, but you get them out on the trail in a group and the group takes off, or the horse spooks at something you always have to get all the slack out with two hands, and then by then you can be in trouble. I think it's better to learn two hand.
