Are you kidding me.. at one point we had to ride inbetween to riders with no 
more then about 4 feet on either side for the other riders. That was enough 
and I didn't want her watching the reining. This kid learns FAST from 
watching other horses! The paint mare that I used to pony Tush with was in 
the arena the other day and doing a very slow jog.. so I stopped Tush and had 
her watch. We now have a slower jog to work with. :)

Ahhh guys... there's books out there on taking pictures. ;)
