used my outside rein to get her to counter bend, i do look where i am going when i counter bend. so is she following where i am looking or does she really feel me pulling on the outside rein? we have only done this exercise so many times that i wonder if she follows the feel of where i am looking and not necessary the rein pressure of pulling her out because i feel that i was not pulling on the outside rein very much.
