Ah yesssss --- My dear husband was TWH lover for years and we
had a direct son of MIDNIGHT SUN -- Our original mare was of
MERRY GIRL or Merry Go Boy --- what ever, it's been so long.
He would tell everyone that if you ride one today you will surely
want to own one tomorrow. Smooooth -- folks'd ride them with
a full glass of water on them to show that smooooth way. Ah ---
When I saw Mike responding to your note about your dog, I was
a little iffy and -- he DOES admit they do NOT usually do that
kind of movement. SPLENDID --- shows what training can do!
The 3 & 5 gaited horses are the trotters and canterers -- oh did
I say that -- ?? There's a registered breed NSH National
Show Horse --- that, in reality is a Saddlebred/Arab mix!
Ok, I'll shut up with just one more horsey thingy --- I was a total
ARAB NUT but I also appreciated the Quarterhorse big time.
So, I was able to have that mix for both of my sons to learn some
interesting stuff. The quarterhorse sense and the arab beauty, true
endurance etc. I had a pure arab mare and a splendid quarter as
well during my healthy lifetime and lived on those two almost daily.
THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES. Norma no L

Giselda,
Now you are talking! once you get the horse supple and working off your
legs, bring the horse back to you at the canter and drape your legs all the
way down into the stirrups. Then at the canter, collect it, ever so
slightly, outside rein, a SLIGHT bump of the outside leg and keep your
inside leg on him to kinda say, "Dont move over this way" and keep him on
the haunches.
Of course your horse has to elevate with just a hand movement and not be
heavy on the bit. and supple to get that canter pirouette.
Go to my old equitation coach's website, and view the " Champagne Watchout"
under 2008 Performances Freestyle Final and he does one. Reminder, this is a
Tennesse Walking Horse, they dont trot, but they do Glide and you would
never know it.
