I guess I just don't get it either.. Why own a "gaited horse" if you want to
ride a trot?? The last dang thing I would ever let my fabulous floating
clouds do is a TROT. and I still am whining because my PNER team didn't go
with the name... TROT NOTS. hrumph.

Well, to each his own, I guess. One of the things I love about riding a paso
fino in endurance is the aches and pains I DON'T have at the end of 50
miles, and of course the looks of jealousy.

As one rider put it, "Are you sure that's legal?" :-))

Hi Amy,
My husband rides a Paso Fino gelding in LD.  He first rode his horse ony in
gait, to get him gaiting well.  But now he trots him a lot (trot = trocha).
Diamante has a huge trot, and at 14.1h can keep up with just about any Arab.
Your horse won't "forget" how to gait if you trot her.  As you noticed, you
can put her back into gait (corto) by collecting her up and driving her
forward with your seat and thighs.  My husband likes the varitey of gaits
his guy has - corto, trot, canter, fast walk, etc.  And a really fast largo
when really inspired.  :)
