[RC] "Walk" rules - Dot WigginsI do have a rule when horses are learning to walk as fast as each horse can. The rule is "I always try to pick the speed at whatever gait" No pushing for a faster trot or canter. However, at the walk, they can go as fast as they want as long as it's a Walk. Surprizing how fast one can walk when they are mad, in a hurry, late for supper, behind the others, and the horse has gotten the message he must not trot. I refuse to slow down for anyone if my horse is Walking. We both win, horse gets to hurry, I get to ride at a walk. <vbg> ============================================================ At the end of the day maybe the definition of endurance isn't the length of the ride but rather the spirit in which it is ridden. ~ Maryanne Stroud Gabani ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
