Re: RC: circling

[Knaptyme@aol.com]

I tried circling today for the first time while I was on the ground.  Since my
treadmill broke, I decided to take Phoenix with me for a walk down the road.
Hey I figured his 4 legs would make my 2 legs walk faster.  Which they did
until we turned around to come home.

At that point, instead of walking faster, he went into some sort of
walk/prance/trot gait.  I ended up walk slower than on the way out.  

Back to the circling, since he was straining, but unwilling to walk, I started
circling him overtime he started in the above mentioned gait.  It did work for
a while and then we would start the prancing all over again.  So tomorrow, we
are going out for another walk and will see if he remembers the circling and
will walk a normal horse walk back to the house.
