Re: [RC] [RC] Hind End confirmation - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

How do the canters compare? I've ridden a couple horse in my days 
with 
big rears and powerful trots - but the canter was just not good 
unless 
you let them stretch out.

You just described my two. Kaboot had the big butt and a huge trot. 
His "canter" was his transition to hand gallop, then run away WHEE!! 
Gunner on the other hand has a heck of a walk and a dreamy 
canter...but his trot is a bit of a jackhammer (like driving a jeep 
on a rutted road). If I just wanted to do 50's I'd canter them, but 
since I entered in in the Biltmore 100 I feel like I've got to stick 
to the trot. I'm not so sure it's all that developable either. :-P

By the way, Gunner's a wonderful hill horse, plenty of power, but 
he's *going* to canter them, not trot!
