I am always amused by the trainer + gaggle course walks.  I love the
detailed explanation the trainer gives to the 8 year olds.  It reminds me
of the Far Side on what we say to dogs and what they hear.

Trainer: Now here you need a strong opening rein, sit up and half halt.
Rachel -- Bo is sluggish, give him 2 light taps here to wake him up.  This
rides in 4 but you have to have your leg on strongly...

8 year old: Omigod a fence!  Whew, made it!  Omigod a fence!  Whew, made it!

Actually, it's not just 8 year olds...
