Ridecamp: Re: [RC] paddling

Paddling, as I understand it, is throwing the front legs out to the side at
the trot, I guess kinda like a dog paddles in the water.  It looks really
goofy, and is probably a conformational fault, but I wondered if there was
anything I could do about it.

This horse is the best besides his paddling, broke him to drive in one day,
just hooked him up and took off.  He takes everything the stupid humans do
in stride, works himself into a fit at a ride, but will also allow my
frightened mother-in-law to meander around the yard on him like an old plow
horse.
