I´m not arguing. ... By: Saartje05. on 30 Apr 12, 19:46:48 I´m not arguing. You´re the one? reacting saying it´s for speed. She´s not speeding. It´s that simple. If you don´t want to talk about it then why reply?
I don't care, I ... By: GypsyWitchRider. on 30 Apr 12, 18:48:45 I don't care, I don't race, nor am I overly fond of it, only used it as an example of top speed. Look at the horse I'm riding in my pic, and the way I ride. Do I look capable of barrel? or jump-racing? I think not. I was merely pointing out that she was cruising, but you insist on arguing. *throws hands in the air* Goodbye and have a nice day!
Thoroughbred? ... By: Saartje05. on 30 Apr 12, 06:59:16 Thoroughbred? That's has still nothing to do with the way she's riding her horse on the video. She isn't barrel racing or? racing. TB racing means steaple chase too? Animal abuse of the highest grade. That's why its forbidden in many countries.

It was impossible to turn in a circle because I was in the forest with trees all around me and not enough open space so I had to let her gallop until we came out of the? forrest.

The horse? I ride ... By: xAliceWings. on 07 Apr 12, 10:40:22 The horse? I ride is called Gentleman and he's REALLY lazy. It's hard to stay in gallop or even trot so I use blunt spurs and it's like magic, I am careful but he listens extrem exactly to what I want. It's amazing. I didn't even know that he can run that fast. It's always a wonderful feeling to feel him moving under me. He's 24 and started in versatility tournaments in M and stays most of the time on the coupler. His owner said maybe that's the reason why he's a bit "hardy" for assistances.
I love to gallop my ... By: JasperIsaLittleHorse. on 03 Apr 12, 18:29:56 I love to gallop my horse Savvy, and even though he is not that fast, the moemnt I give him his head he takes right off and? he just loves it. Soemtimes i have a hard time getting him back, but for the most part i can bring him back down to a canter then I circle him to a trot. He is a safe horse for me to gallop and ride, but I make sure that everyone that rides him knows the one rein stop and basic leg cues, as a horse can still gallop strait with thier head pulled to your leg.
Galloping, although ... By: EpicBlueSpikes. on 02 Apr 12, 22:07:18 Galloping, although she was cantering to demonstrate, should never be done in an enclosed area, (a arena) a horse needs time and space to get up to speed, also, it is recommended that you learn and practice a good hunter or half seat ready for cantering, also NEVER gallop or canter your horse enar home, as this will teach him bad habits and he willbring you home without asking, I, myself have galloped and it? is undescribible, you and your horse will never feel as one as with the gallop.

the pace is only possible in some breeds and totally natural in some individual horses.
At the canter, the RH lands independantly, not with the LH and RF, and a lead change should occur from the hind end in? both the canter and the gallop.
