My cousin's horse Sonny is a Standardbred adopted from the racing
industry. He is a natural pacer and we ride him often at the pace. I
happen to like the side to side motion. He just eats up the miles
(would be a wonderful endurance horse if she were into it). I think it
is really a cool feeling to be on a pacer and not uncomfortable at all.
And, I do sit at the pace and find it easier than at the trot!
