--> This is one of the most hotly debated topics in equestrian circles. The answer is...yes. If you're doing certain forms of advanced riding, dressage, steeple chase or barrel, knee gripping is something you [lose] points for because it damages your posture. But for new and inexperienced riders, as I learned, it's a great aid in maintaining your saddle because most horses are trained to SLOW DOWN when you grip them with your knees. Posture in my view is something you worry about once you've mastered staying on the horse.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Chou Lee's powers are given to her by the Tao, and it gives her as much power as it sees fit. WordOfGod says ''nothing'' can stand in her way if the Tao deems it necessary. But usually it doesn't.

Seeing how elated he was in having a son, she decided to play along and--for some reason--her mother also went with the charade, both telling [[spoiler:Mr. Magic]] that his daughter was a boy."
