I stood there in "neutral" for a moment or two. Then, I finally figured out that Monty had switched me into first gear---that means "forward." So, then he made me go in second (trot) and third (canter) both ways of the round pen.

I kicked out a few times and crow-hopped just a bit, but he just kept making me go forward. Finally I figured out that it was too much work doing those extras and that I'd get done a lot faster if I'd just do my job.

I think everyone approved.
