Ride with someone whose horse has a big, long trot.
For a lonngg time. They will eventually learn to lengthen their own trotting
stride. Our Lily had a little pitty-pat trot until her second ride following my
big Morgan gelding. It has been my experience that horses will pick up the
gait of who they are following.
Probably not the most scientific way, but it seems
to be how ours 'get it'.
Maggie Pritchard-who likes a big, long
trot
Bubba--25+ mph trot!
Lily--I got it!
Lucky--got what?

Subject: [RC] lengthening stride
What is the best way to
lengthen stride and how many inches is it possible to improve it? I have
already gotten some results by working my mare with her head carriage low and
back rounded. Does pre ride stretching really work that much? What
about cavaletti?
