Standardbred Horse Racing

You can post the trot till you see the horses nose to the jump then you should go into you're jumping position (2 point). Note the horse's nose does not leteraly need to touch the jump.

a working trot is a trot between a collected trot and the extended trot. It should be energetic and have good forward motion, not 'pokey', but should not be 'fast'. Just a good active pace relative to your horses motion.

It was either Diane Crump or Mary Bacon.

The first female to hold a jockey license in the United States was Hilda Hauser and the second was Daisy Parsons in the 1920-1930s

For adult females, the average step length is about 26 inches and the average stride length is around 52 inches. For adult males, the average step length is 31 inches and the average stride is 62 inches.

It depends on the breed of horse. A Tennesse Walker can do all the gaits.

Um, NO that is wrong. ANY horse, can Walk,Trot(Jog),Loap(Canter), and Gallop. Thoroughbreds can Breeze, and gated horses like the Tennese Walker, just have a few more gaits.

Well, you see, if we're going to get technical, it depends on what you're asking. Are you asking if they can trot and canter like normal horse or are you asking if they can trot and canter naturally, at birth, without training. If your question is the latter, then no. Not all horses can trot. Some Standardbreds are born as pacers, which means they pace instead of trot. They can be retrained to trot, but it is not natural to them.

It is probably the shape of their hoof or a deformity in their leg.

Actually, it is not the shape of their hoof, it is the position of it. Horses can be toed in or toed out, also they may be cow-hocked these could lead to 'paddling' when they trot.

The difference between thw western trot and the English trot is simple. The western trot is called a jog, which is much slower than the English trot. The English trot is called a trot, which is much quicker than western jog. Also you are not suppose to post in a western saddle you only do that in an English.

Back in the old days, information was posted on chalk boards. They would underline the favorite and thus it became known as the "chalk".

To tell (or ask) your horse to trot is:
"Aller au trotter."
Translation is: To go into a trot.

I think you make it gallop, trot, or jump.

No, posting or rising trot is a way to ride the trot and you can post any type of trot. Extended trot is where the horse lengthens it's trot stride to cover more ground. Typically this causes the trot to smooth out a bit making it easier to sit the trot.

Some of the top German equestrian brands include Waldhausen, Stübben, and Passier, known for their high-quality saddles and riding gear. Additionally, Schockemöhle Sports and Pikeur are renowned for their stylish riding apparel and equipment. These brands are celebrated for their craftsmanship, innovation, and commitment to equestrian sports.

From Horseman's U.com:

Posting the trot in western is the same as English. Remember, horses cannot distinguish the difference in disciplines, only humans do. The movements of a single horse are the same regardless of a Western or English saddle.

Posting was invented to give rider and horse relief from constantly jarring in the saddle.

Diagonals were created to allow the outside legs (in a bend) to extend farther (they have more distance to travel) AND to allow weight OFF the inside leg during the rise of that leg, since it carries the majority of the weight when circling or bending. "Rise and fall with the front leg on the wall" is often used to describe 'when' to rise the post, but when no wall is present, you rise with the outside front leg to the bend you are riding.

If you've never posted before, try to 'feel' the two beats to the trot. Posting is the rising and falling of each beat, and it is a natural movement for a rider.

To begin learning to post, first learn to do a 'half seat', where you rise out of the saddle, drop weight in your heels (shock absorber) with the ball of your foot in the stirrup. Start at the walk and continue until you are comfortable with standing for 20 strides. Also, please do not try this on a skittish horse. Find one that's quiet and sensible. When performing this exercise, do not use the reins for support: a horse's mouth is sacred and should be treated with care and respect. If you need to, hold on to the horn, then graduate to holding the mane until you can balance without any need to hold on.

The balance you will learn from this exercise will help with the balance you will need to rise and fall at the trot, so it is important that you learn this and work at it. it will also help you to learn the post faster and help with balance for staying on during sudden unexpected moves from the horse. Learning to keep weight down in your heels and not 'stand' in your stirrup will serve you in any discipline.

Next, try the 'half seat' at the trot for short strides until you are comfortable with 20 strides again. Once you have the feel of balance without the need to hold on to anything, (average 5 to 10 tries for about 5-8 minutes per time) it's time to post.

Rise and fall with each diagonal movement. An important tip to remember: don't stand in your stirrups. This advice is not my recommendation as it teaches new riders to stand on the balls of their feet and sit upright. Proper posting is the forward 'roll' off the thighs with a soft rise. Many riders get into the habit of an up/down movement and have difficulty later relearning this. Too much up movement is wasted motion that can add stress to the horse's kidneys and spleen, and back muscles. A good post uses thigh muscles to lightly 'touch down' on the saddle, then back up again. It is not about sitting or dropping weight in the saddle on each post. It's a great way to tone the legs!

There really is no secret to any horse riding; it's just getting out there and practice, practice, practice; ride, ride, ride. In time you will pick up the 'feel' and rhythm of posting, and apply the principles of diagonals to refine and help your horse.

A sulky. (plural)- Sulkies.

if a horse has long legs it will have large strides which means it will have a fast trot but it could be lazy and go slow now a little horse could have fast trot too because it will have small strides so they would lots of little strides really quickly but then again it could just be lazy i hope ive answered your question , beautifulbeauforever :)
