My husband has a Tenn. Walker that trips. Last ride the horse
tripped so bad (while walking), when I looked back, both horse and husband
were flat out on the ground. Just curious, would you all rather have a
horse that trips, or one that does 180s?
*Neither! I greatly dislike tripping
horses; will move them on to "flatter" terrain.....being surefooted and not
falling down is my number one criteria for what I want in a horse. To a
certain degree it can be developed by taking them places as babies and letting
them move over rough terrain...but some I see never get it.
The foxtrotter mare I had briefly went splat with
me and left me with a nice scar on my lip...fortunately she went back to her
original owner.
As for the horses that do 180's.....as a friend
says, "there are a lot of nice horses for sale out there!"
