[RC] ... now Improving the Walk - Amber B Fort

You want to talk pokey walk, my boys fastest walk is 3.5 mph (according to gps).   Anything faster and he goes into a jog (which is ok cause it is soft).  I have worked and worked him with the alternating bumping with rythem technique, however, I really think he just can't physically walk faster. 

He has many more gears in the trot, from 3mph jog to about 8mph working trot and on occasion he has performed a road trot (is what I was told it was) at about 11 mph. 

I still work him on speeding up his walk, if I don't he goes into turtle mode, which drives me nuts.  However, when he is w/company on a ride, I don't have to push him as much to walk faster.
