define it!

Question
I am learning driving for my senior project in High School. I have to explain to a panel of community members what pleasure driving is. how would you define pleasure driving?

Answer
Hello,
Pleasure Driving is just as the name states- a pleasurable drive.  The horse must have slow, smooth gaits, and look like a pleasure to drive.  There are a few different types of driving, too- like country, and open.  While the definition of pleasure driving varies person to person, pleasure driving is basically a class in which the horse is relaxed, has a low-set frame, shows obvious extension and collection when required, and can be driven with light as well as no contact on the reins.  The horse should respond to the lightest cues immediately when asked, should stand calmly, and back easily.
