Not Diva but since Smokey is trained Western I do try to ride him
Western.  Unfortunately I don't know what I'm doing and he does and he
tells me about it.  He can tell which hand I have the reins in too.  If
I put them in the right hand he lets me know that they are suppose to be
in the left.
Last night I took Smokey out after we did some work in the arena and
that silly horse decided to have fun and show how much water he could
splash.  He puts his nose down near the water then flattens his feet out
then stomps as hard as he can.
