    Practice it at home. Practice it on every training ride. Practice.....practice.......practice.

    This is for a friend whom I ride with regularly in CTR.  She has a
    wonderful arab gelding who is so laid back he literally falls asleep
    waiting in line for pulse checks.  Her horse recovers nicely, leads,
    follows, drinks, eats, trots a range of sppeds, nice canter, camps well,
    travels well, everything you could ask for....just a really sweet horse.
    She rides him regularly and I know he is in good condition.  At an event
    after pulsing down to 39-40, having good gut sounds, nice cap refill, no
    leg swelling or pain.........he just won't trot decently at the end of the
    ride and she loses points for willingness and impulsion but has near
    perfect scores on th rest.  It seems to be getting even worse.  Legs have
    been x-rayed and ultrasounded to make sure the hands on isn't missing
    anything and he moves beautifully under saddle, though he is a pokey
    walker.  How can she get her beast to trot out better?  I have a NSH who
    trots like the wind by nature so I am of no help given its just as natural
    for my horse to trot as it is for hers to snooze.

    Thanks...........
