[RC] Faster walk by a tail - JonniJust curious - why does tailing make them walk faster?<<< I think part of it is because the set their body up is slightly the same way they do going up a hill. I have found many who will walk faster going up hill, than on the flat, as they change how they power themselves. Much like how they shift their body for the addition of "drag" on their tail. I've also got some to walk faster by riding with a faster walking horse, and have them start the horse at a slow walk, and very gradual, ask it for a tad more speed, and the slow walker will often gradually increase too. But, ask too much, and they will break in to a jog. Carriage driving horses will often match the stride of the horse next to them when driven in a pair. Riding right next to another horse for a distance, and you often will find them doing the same.
