Re: [RC] Trot vs canter - Truman Prevatt

Funny - my daughter and I were having  a version of this discussion this
morning.  She rides an off-the-track  Standardbred who paced at the track
and can both trot and pace but does not have a well-developed canter.  Are
we correct in assuming that he's going to be more efficient pacing or
trotting?

I know someone that used a standardbred as a hunting horse for years. He trotted cross country next to the galloping horses. The only time the rider would break him into a canter was when approaching a fence. After the jump he'd pop back into the tort.

He seemed to do just fine thank you at the trot.
