Barbara - maybe your horse would benefit from simply following another horse
for a while... is there anybody you can ride with, who has a bold leader
horse?

> >  This horse is really smart,
kind, trail-savvy and a lot of good things.  But I don't seem to make a lot
of speed forward.  We do a lot of walking and he's developed a very fast
walk.  I want to begin trotting a lot.  He's past 7 and it's time to do an
endurance ride.  Do you, or anyone out there in Ridecamp world have any
positive ideas how to deal with this?  He's not mean, nor treacherous, it's
just that my balance isn't as great as it used to be and I'm a bit worried
about falling off him.  And, if I'm trotting along, he might very well slam
on the brakes.  He spooks in place, doesn't bolt, spin, run away, rear or
any really hard-core bad stuff.  But he doesn't relax at a trot.
