[RC] [Guest] re: teaching horses to be brave - Ridecamp ModeratorPeggy Rowe kiskka@xxxxxxxxxxxxx "A breed of horses may be defined as a group of horses having a common origin and possessing certain well-fixed, distinctive, uniformly transmitted characteristics that are not common to other horses." Dr. Ensminger Saddlebreds are bred to the genetic predispostiion to gait. I guess I define "use" by discipline rather than the gait I am moving at, because the fact that the horse is galloping doesn't take away from the fact that the horse can also gait-in the ex below provided by Maggie. It is true that not all ASBs are five-gaited, mine happens to be and did not cost a fortune BTW. I would not use the rack on a ride, but have used the slow gait, and it is wonderful? Maggie-Is it possible your 'dreamy trot' could be a 'dreamy slow gait' ? Peggy Rowe Maggie writes: <<I know Saddlebreds are shown as gaited horses, but does anyone actually expect them to rack in an endurance ride? I think of gaited horses as those that are asked to do their favored gait doing whatever you do. ie: if you barrel race a paso at a gallop, you aren't using him as a gaited horse. My saddlebred has a dreamy, ground-covering trot. I don't even know if she has ever racked.>> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= http://www.endurance.net/ads/seabiscuit.html Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
