I did "cure that pace!" by Lee, or is it Liz... anyway. really works. I mean, jaspar will always be pacey, he has pacey conformation, but it got him out of the hard pace and where he will do some other gaits now, not quite sure what they are! But I know for a fact he does a nice relaxed stepping pace, and then some sort of flatwalk. My trouble with him is he is a very easy going laid back horse, low energy, so hard for me to get him really moving out at a consistent faster rate unless other horses are too. Once I got a flatwalk out of him I started noticing gaits he had never had before. I thought it was a RW but in a pic recently it looked like a foxwalk. I have had him a few times do a true rack, but he has never once done a saddle rack. For him, the few times he did a true rack was dropping into it out of a full blown gallop with other horses galloping. but it does not come easy for him and it is not a gait i would ever try and get him to do regularly.
