During her beginner lesson she will demand considerable help and support from you to prevent her from pitching forward, but as she gains better control of her stabilizing muscles and knows what you want her to do, she’ll depend less and less upon your hand to keep her steady. Then you can gradually give her less help and support until you will basically have to maintain one hand in position two or three inches from her neck or chin, to be in position to prevent her from falling forward; later on you can most likely withdraw your hand altogether and just dangle the reward just over the height of her head.
