Re: [RC] Training a horse to walk faster - Dot Wiggins
This question was a few days ago, but I'll try to
answer it.
Try to ride with some one who will help a
bit. Ask for the best walk your horse can do. If the
other horse walks faster and yours falls behind a few lenghts, ask for a trot to
catch up before "prancing" starts. Then go back to walking. It will
take lots of time and patience, but your horse will develope more stride without
the frustration of getting too far behind. Try not to
ride with the fastest walker you know for a while
<bg.> In that case, just ask for a trot, don't
fight it if you can't win at least part of the time.
I have a question. My horse walks really slow
compared to my friends horses, so he'll drift back a few feet then trot to
catch up. When I try to get him to walk faster, he prances, instead. I've
tried everything I could think of but he just doesn't get it. Anybody out
there have any surefire way to train him to walk faster?
