You could loosen the reins, put your hands forward, gently squeeze or use poles. Another way to get horses to take longer strides is to collect them because in collecting them you ask their hind end to come up under them, which involves longer strides.
My horse trainer counted my horse's strides.
Take longer steps
Faster Greyhounds have higher stride frequencies, longer rear flight times, and longer rear flight distances. Therefore strides in each dog varies according to their health and weight.
On foot= Walk Long strides and count them. On a Horse= Count each canter stride :)
It depends on what gait your going at.
when i do pole exercises with my horse i normally stride out some canter poles (usually about 5 horse canter strides) and see how many canter strides i can fit in so my horse has to shorten and lengthen , this is good to get the horse listening to your aid and they enjoy it more too :) another one is where you can have poles on a circle and see how many strides you can fit between them and so on! theres loads tbh hope i helped :)
Normally tall people because their legs take longer strides and take up more space in a shorter time. With short people, they don't take very long strides so they aren't that fast. But some people i know are pretty short and they are some of the fastest people in the grade.
A horses stride is measured by taking note of it's walk trot and canter. You want to be sure to take not of their posting diagnol because it won't help much if your hourse is on the incorrect lead. Horses with smaller shoulder angles have longer strides and horses with a shorter shoulder angle means a longer stride. If the shoulder angle is smaller then it means that the bone in a horses shoulder is parrellel to the ground allowing the leg to reach further. The height of a horse has nothing to do with its stride length.
His legs are a little bit longer than most of his competition. This means he needs to take less strides to reach the finish line.
Longer legs help horses by allowing them not only to see farther away but to also run faster to escape predators. But being over a certain height can actually cause soundness problems with horses.
up to 4 1/2 ft maximium depending on the horse breed. a thoroughbred will tend to have the longest stride.
They have longer strides which gives them an advantage in sprints such as the 100m and 200m.
