[RC] trot vs canter - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: kate kate.kearby@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== has to be more the feel of the individual horse... my old mare could trot smooth and comfortable for hours, an old man said if she'd been born 100 years ago they'd have loved her as a buggy horse. and part of her trot was being of considerable substance, and i see horses of more substance more incline and easier going at a trot. her daughter, a slighter build and taking more after the sire on the other hand is a cantering horse... the kind you feel must have carried the sheiks across the desert, easy riding long reaching rolling ground covering gallop. and her pulse goes down when she's in it compared to her trot. the old mare's canter was more of a 'charge' get there now quick, but it won't last all day she used her trot for that. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
