Re: [RC] Letters to the World -- showing - Chris - heidiNo, it means horses that jog along with their heads nearly on the ground, as if pushing peanuts with their noses. (At least that's what I've always heard.) Yep, specifically western pleasure horses. QHs really perfected this particular travesty with the head so low that the nose was practically on the ground--although some of the Arab trainers have adopted another sick version, with the neck low but overbent so that the nose is tucked back, so that the horse really does look like it would somersault if it tripped... <sigh> Heidi ============================================================ Every horse can be taught to walk faster than you think. It is one of the most important qualities of a good riding horse. Some have it naturally, others need to learn. On the other hand, if you are riding a tired horse, an easy jog is more efficient, covers more groumnd with less effort. (it's the rebound effect of the two beat trot) ~ Dot Wiggins ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
