I hadn't taken any video of attaching a lead line to her halter and letting her go (or driving her out).... was not 100% sure I wanted to do this as an exercise - but it IS generally effective in helping them learn to give to pressure, so I thought it'd give it a quick try.
Results? She stepped on the line literally once (w/left foot) and never, ever did it again, with either foot. I took video today (the second time trying it, and just had her going at (slow) walk as she followed me... so, maybe not dramatic, but you can see a number of times she purposefully places her legs to avoid stepping on it.
