Fw: [RC] gaits used in ride - Jen

Thanks to all that replied regarding the gaits they use.  I was just looking  
to hear what experienced guys do.  I am not at that stage yet (60% trotting - 
oh, my butt hurts just thinking that!) But I tend to research things to death.  
And I want to know what to work towards in the future.  Don't worry, I will 
pace things to Willow's abilities, not my personal goals. 

And thank you again for sharing details of your rides with me, I found them 
very interesting!  A Garmin has gone on my "I want" list...

I was asked to post a few pics of the Swedish Gotlands.

I ride Willow, the mare I am "leasing" from my friend, the breeder. She is 
giving me a free lease, because she feels I am doing a lot to promote her 
breed.  (I also manage her website).  There are not really well known here in 
North America.  But they are a great horse (and are more horse than pony in 
personality!)...  which is good, because "ponies" drive me nuts!  I ride 
several of her other horses, but Willow is the one I get along with best, and 
she is the one I prefer to use for endurance.

I will be sure to take lots more of our first ride (we should have 5 Gotlands 
together).  And in a nice park too, very much looking forward to it!


Happy trails,
Jen
