Re: [RC] Safest at the Trot??? - Mike Lewis

Agree!! I *hate* the walk--it picks at my impatient nature.

I love the trot and feel most secure there. Canter isn't too bad, either. One of the two times in my life I've fallen off a horse was at the trot. The timing was most helpful in assisting me figure out how to come off and stay out of the horse's way. :-)

I agree--I tend to feel quite secure when the horse spooks at the trot... maybe it is just a synch thing...

*raises her hand* ME ME ME! To this day I feel much more secure at a trot than a canter. Its much easier for me to pick up the rhythm and keep a secure seat. It used to puzzle people that I would fall off at a canter and never get off balance when my horse would dodge sideways at a trot. But then I've always been an odd person.

Is there ANYBODY out there who, when learning to ride, thought "yep, the
trot is the easiest for me to get in rhythm with?"  I have taught a lot
of people to ride, and not a one of them has ever said that.
