makes sense. I think I need to practice/develop it a bit more to get a proper 'feel' of latteral leading with the fore-finger (Although I do now adopt the 'pistol grip', I don't use the fore finger - which is kind of the point of the grip
)

Generally I use a sharp pull to stop her short of iminent collissions (when the lady travels a bit further than expected) or re-direct her momentum to a clearer area. I think that I would need a stronger finger to do this with just the lateral lead.
