That's horrible. And congrats on the dressage test! What do they have you do for a dressage test? I'd like to be in one, but I don't have my own horse. I still learn all I can though.

Do you take lessons or something to keep up on your dressage stuff?

Hello, had a great ride after work today. Did around 15 miles. Just love that glide ride. I have Rocky Mountain's and will try just about anything with them.

Oh, that sounds lovely!

What is their gait like? I've always wanted to ride a gaited horse.

What color and/or title would you like?

Red is the color I'd want and "The Magic of Gypsy Vanners" would be the title please and thank you very much.

OK, will try to explain how gait feels One foot is always on the ground, right hind, right fore, left hind,left fore. The smooth gaits are always this foot-fall. The only exception is the MFT.(fox trotter). So the gait has no suspension like to two beat trot, or three beat canter.
So imagine sitting in the saddle and moving side to side (just slightly rocking back and forth left to right) NO bounce up and down
You have the slow gait, all the way up to the speedrack. Look up some videos on YouTube, look for RMH, speed racking, and 5 gaited saddlebreds.

Hope this helps, and yes I love the speed of racking. When I am fast gaiting on my black gelding and riding with trotting horses it is not uncommon for them to have to hand gallop to keep up....

Maye

I do take lessons and I learn all I can on Google. I know there are a lot of clashing views on the internet, but that's ok because my first horse teacher (that actually taught me how to ride) was a extremely biast about riding and it kinda rubbed off on me.
