Good thought. I don't ride in a bit and when hacking etc stop Amelia with a
combination of voice and bottom without problem. It's when we are doing it
'nicely' with an outline that the old head comes up. Probably too much bum
and I also move my hands back (a major sin, somewhere up with adultery and
murder) so will be working very hard on that.
