Hi Ady...Oh, yes. Sometimes in wintertime or the sort of weather we've had recently. Or when out on a horse that is temperamental. I know if I dismount from my Bruce, he's bomb-proof and won't take off. Not all horses are that calm. You even have to be wary when dismounting to open a gate in some cases. But other times, I've asked one of my girl pupils to hold the horse's reins for me while I pop behind the bush...though not too far, if you get my meaning. The girls, btw, love it the first time they see a big male horse stale.
