My girl can get a little sluggish at trotting in hand toward the end of a 
ride - but most of the vets I've met in my rather limited experience give me 
time to get her going.  I would frown as well on having to haze the poor 
girl, but I suppose it is up to the vet to decide if the horse is just being 
lazy or needs to quit and rest?  I have been working on getting her to trot 
freely when I am not on her, and it has been WORK!  LOL  She is slowly 
getting it though.  I think it is one of the "not so much fun" things riders 
need to work on if their mount doesn't just naturally get it!

looks at my butt...)
