[RC] Downhill Trot - Dyane Smith

There may be something to Heidi's contention that horses can be taught this
downhill "float".  Suni had a huge park horse trot.  He bounded along at
speed.  Really too big to post.  But you could not sit it.  Two point kind
of gait.

On the other hand, going downhill, he did something so different, kind of
sat down and let his front legs manuver with almost no weight on them.
That, you could sit.  In fact, you really couldn't post to it.  It was very
fast and very efficient, but really not very "trot" like.

It is how we "feel" deep inside that matters, cause each of us knows the
truth, regardless of how we try make it complicated.  It just isn't.
