I no longer was the girl who loved my horse unconditionally,…

Finally, adjustability especially in-between fences is a common problem. Coovers in a line is often very consistent in stride length, but it is not nesscerally the stride length the rider needs or wants.

This often encourages riders to back off and just let Coovers do what he wants. However, Coovers…
