There are times, like when my horse is in a coma, when he gives me a

slightly "forward" and not all this UP & forward arc business.
However,
when Kaboot...and now my new, also 14.2 horse,Gunner hit their *power*
trot, there is so much hang time that I've got to stay up longer.
Before
an endurance ride I have to shorten my stirrups a lot on Kaboot just
to
make my "up" arch long enough to come down when he does and not have
to
tip toe. Does that make sense? 

Perfectly.  It's not easy.  I think part of the reason I think "pockets
out" when I ride a horse with a big trot is so that I don't get ahead of
his movement.  It keeps me focused on just relaxing.

P.S. Though his previous owner declared it impossible to ride away
from
your property alone with him...he did his first solo ride with no
panic
attacks yesterday. :-))

Well done. 

You now have permission to go "neener neener neener".
