How do you feel about horse-drawn carriages in major cities?
They should be allowed as they always have been.
They should be regulated better to make sure the horses aren't overworked.
They should be restricted to parks or low-traffic areas.
They should be banned from cities. It's not safe for the horses or people.

I really enjoy John Lyons but i think there might be a simpler and easier way to pick up correct leads.

Love John Lyons, but that was a little confusing. The method I use, and I've gotten pretty quick results with my QH, is asking for a canter and putting gentle, steady pressure on the side you want the lead (ex. left lead = canter cue + pressure on left side). Heck, he ends up doing a beautiful flying lead change! Two birds with one stone.
