Hi Terri, There is one other rule that I don't think has been mentioned yet............the galloping horse rule. It has been mentioned several times during the last couple of years by different forum members......and it is a good one! The rule is.........if you can't see the mistake riding by the quilt on a galloping horse.......then is doesn't matter. Here is the link to a post about my first FMQ attempt last year.
