Trotting

yes you keep your toes up & heels down yes you keep your toes up & heels down

**I only suggest this for a horse that fully respects your space and isn't pushy at all, or this could end badly with a disrespectful pushy horse**

Get a bunch of treats. The treats we use are about as big around as your finger and vary from 1/2 to an inch long. So, put the treats in your pocket, or a pouch if you have one and get your clicker. push the clicker and feed the horse a treat. repeat until the horse associates the clicker with a treat.

**The clicker can be replaced with anything, your voice, petting them, ect. **

Yes, you can. Non-gaited horses can only go the four basic gaits, walk, trot, canter, and gallop. Gaited horses are horses that can do other special gaits, such as the pace, or the tolt. Only certain breeds do that.

Horses can walk, trot or canter. They do not skip.

The 4(normal) gaits are walk trot canter gallop, whilst you do get some such as extended moves and collected moves etc etc

Most horses walk, trot, canter and gallop. The gallop is actually a fast canter but instead of having a 3 beat gait it has a 4 beat gait.

There are also special breeds of horses that do other gaits. These horses are called "gaited". Some breeds that are gaited include: Rocky Mountain Horses, Kentucky Saddle Horses, Tennessee Walkers, Icelandics and Missouri Fox trotters.

If your horse is trained right, simply sitting back and putting wait on the back of the saddle should slow them down.

Express mail featured at www.usps.com is the term they use for OVERNIGHT delievery. In most cases you can get a package sent overnight and delievered by the AM the next day. However I do believe they require you have the package to your postal office by at least 3pm.

Yes. In fact, Colorado is the only state in the Union where an individual can audio record anyone without their knowledge. In fact the laws states that one party needs to know that there is recording going on. If you are the party doing the recording, then nobody else needs to know. The above is incorrect.

Someone who really knows how to ride and act around horses. They know how to ride in many styles, care for a horse, and be totally comfortable around a horse. Most expirienced riders have been riding for years.

Well, you didn't specify what game, so I guess the best I can do is give you the basics. To stand on the water, you need your chakra. The more chakra, the longer you can stand. Whenever battling an Atkatsuki member on a naruto game, smash the substitution trigger, and whenever you pull it off, nail them with a quick combo. Don't try your big jutsus unless you have alot of health, and most importantly, keep your distance.

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 :)

To tell (or ask) your horse to trot in German is:

"Gehen Sie zu einem Trab."

Translation is: Go into a trot.

Some how I seriously doubt that any horse would understand that much German, let alone the formal (Sie) conjugation of the verb!

Even if you did say such a thing to it, horsey people are intimate enough with their horses that they would use the informal Du form!

Just use the stirrups and reins

When you are riding a horse at a trot you can either sit the trot (something that require a lot of practice to be able to do well), or do a rising trot where you post (go up and down in the saddle) in time with the horse's outside leg.

Good ones do a mile in 2 minutes or less.

By telling your horse to canter...but your horse needs to know how to canter and needs lots of practise, and he also needs to know the command "canter". after he/she gets what you want, practise going from a trot to a canter. soon enough your horse will be transitioning smoothly! good luck!

Horses don't "skip" but they trot which would be the closest thing to a skip. Trotting is sort of like a skip, it is a speed faster than the walk or a little faster than a jog if you have one. When you trot, the horse moves back and forth quickly, which makes you post. Posting is a way of riding to help the horse's back. You move up amd down in thecar saddle along with the beat of the gait.

To add to the above post a 'skip' can refer to a old bucket or pan used to catch debris that have been picked out of a horses hooves, this term is used in Europe and the UK mostly.

You can play this particular game online on a wide variety of websites. You can also play it on Android devices.

The common sobriquet for Thoroughbred horse racing is called The Sport of Kings.

Digiturf.com is not really a game to me. In fact, it's indexed as gambling according to Google and DMOZ.org. The problem with Digiturf is that even though people have won a lot of money, it can get very expensive to play. In fact, I have seen some people spend tens of thousands of dollars. You might want to save your money and try horseracegame.com. They have tournaments where you can win prizes and a lot of those tournaments are actually free. The game has great graphics and a very large interactive community, as well. Another interesting game that follows the path of the Breeders Cup is breederscupgame.com. I think one of these two games will make it to your favorite horse racing games list.

I disagree with the answer above-

a: because it looks like they're marketing their own games.

b: anyone who has played Digiturf.com would know it is the most realistic horse game around. And I say played deliberately- because it is a game. It's not like you're gambling in a casino.

I joined them through ESPN - coz ESPN is very credible about sporting / gaming sites and I've never looked back. Sure it costs money to win- but you're winning your own money back from other players. (When you beat the other players- which I'm not!)

And they have their free games and unlimited access to their 3D viewer (not like horseracegame.com and breederscupgame.com mentioned above where you have to pay).

And I'm not rich that I can run in the championships but I get my fair entertainment in the cheaper races which is cheaper than a burger! Don't knock it till you tried it.

The equivalent of a trot (in Western Riding) is called the jog. The differences are only verbal.

If you are riding a "fast horse trot" it could be a lengthened or an extended trot.

That is referring to the actual length of stride a horse is making at that trot.

"Collection" is the exact opposite, basically, of a fast trot.

most of the time that it is a gaited horse. if it's too pacey then you need to ride it out of it and get it timed up.

Answer: In horse racing some horses need "cover" because they don't produce their best efforts when leading from the front. so the jockey keeps the horse behind a couple of other runners, which provide this "cover", until the final stages of the race when the horse is encouraged to do his best... I guess this applies also to trotting races.

collected canter, or in western terms, a lope Andalusiangirl
