 I can do that with Scarlet, because she has a very smooth, minimal bounce trot - no matter what the speed.  But on Chief?  Hell no. That boy has springs in his pasterns and you can't sit his trot.  Even 2-pointing is difficult.  Sounds like you've just been fortunate with the horse you're riding, Bob.
