Re: [RC] [RC] Pacing - aggiekris

It's my guess that a lot of the "really nice trots" on horses that
sometimes and have paced, are most likely foxtrots,

With my guy, it's definately a pure trot. he's not sitable at all, you
have to post, but it's a dream to post to, and effortless. Compared to my
Arab mare, who is too smooth to post and too rough to sit, i just love
this gelding.


To those who like the pace...I cannot...just cannot imagine that you
are actually riding a full pace and enjoying it. A stepping pace will
have the side to side sway, and is a LOT less jarring - often even
smooth. But,  there is nothing smooth about a full pace.

My other TWH will often get into a stepping pace, and it's somewhat
comfortable, but you'd better hang on when he breaks into a pace - if the
first stride doesn't launch you off to one side, the second will probably
get you! I've ridden a foxtrotter who paced that was mighty uncomfortable,
but this other TWH i have really does have a nice pace, and it's also a
pure pace. He is a two beating kinda guy, apparently.
