Re: romal versus split reins?

And an insignificant and/or constant wind field.

If I understand correctly these horses are trained to respond to
combinations of aids. If a rein jiggles randomly but nothing else happens
the horse can know to ignore it. For that matter, he can learn to take
wind into account. Extracting signals from noise is something even
computers can do.
