My horse stonewall does a wonderful saddle rack with me riding. Today my husband rode him on a trail ride and I took Jaspar because Walls is so goey he scares me when he hasnt been ridden in a while, and Jaspar has a calming effect on him and other horses in general. And my husband seems to have a way about him that makes walls behavem. He was an absolute angel btw. My husband is heavy, has scoliosis so he has a permanent slump, and he is a terrible rider, just a passenger really. I wanted to video him coming down the road with our friends, both of them with horses that usually saddle rack. As soon as they started out my husband said he let Walls just "have his head" and we laugh about him always thinking when horses are gaiting, to him its a race. He was only with the others a few seconds and just took off and I filmed this very weird (for him gait). His feet together seem like it is almost a pure pace and at times my husband is banging in the saddle, but compared to Jaspar's hard pace the percussion is very light. Is it a very fast broken pace? The second url is the same video in slow motion. What gait please?
