Think of the difference between 'light' and 'reactive'. Brego used to be reactive, now he is light. Aha! Reactive doesn't necessarily mean explosive. A horse can have the right reaction, but it is still a reaction none the less.
You don't want a reaction, you want a light response.
Lightness: A calm and smart response to pressure.
Reaction: A horse moving out using it's prey animal instincts.
“Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” -Proverbs 19:20-21
