Flying Leadchange, Talent & Skill

In one of the last audios Pat is talking about leadchanges and talent. A horse that´s doing flying leadchanges by itself in the pasture has a natural talent for it and it takes alot of skill to teach a horse to do flying leadchanges.
Lucky me, I´m blessed with a horse who has a gift for flying leadchange. Milva has not once picked the wrong lead when I asked her to canter and if I manage to not get us all tangled in in the rope but instead get a change of direction in canter she always, naturally does a flying leadchange.
I guess that´s what selective breeding is about. Even if she looks like a bohemian  western pony you can´t deny her bloodlines ;).
