My TWH mare preferred her animated, very fast 4 beat walk
before we started limited distance last year. She can out
walk most cantering horses and keep it up forever. However,
after several rides, I began encouraging her
to use other gaits including the pace, although it is very
choppy. When we came to an agreement on this (and she
learned to canter SLOWLY and calmly) she couldn't be stopped.
Her recoveries were much faster and she has top tenned the
last 5 rides she has done (Two best conditions!!!) So let Chance
do his thing unless he's in a show ring.

Good Luck, Keep us posted
