I have found "whips" are allowed,(NE); I almost
always used one at initial and end trot outs as my horse "learned" quickly
that this was where he could relax - at vet checks. And without
'cue', unless he was particularily "chipper' that day, He Trotted out
like leading a cow!!! lol :)No, he wasn't tired - he just never saw
the point in "trot outs"; and once I put my foot in the stirrup and
pointed him back out on trail, few horses could keep up with his trot.
Often wished I could 'show' him under saddle. On the other hand, have
another horse that trots out great, use it to remind him to 'stay off
me'. Stephanie M.
