This message is from: "Reena" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My Gus has a fairly nice trot but for someone used to riding big horses, they would consider it choppy.......it is a 'pony' stride, but smooth.....now his canter used to be really bad, but with work, it has gotten back that rocking horse quality......
I use a Passier dressage saddle and it works just fine Reena This message is from: "Linda Lehnert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yesterday I went to ride my first Fjord, a 14 year old mare, with my trail saddle, an original McClellan. Gaits - the mare was ridden and trained English (dressage) and seemed to have short, choppy strides, which I primarily attributed to her being ridden English and was exacerbated by the speed of the trot in English (her canter was OK, but not the best). The breeder said it was because she is a Fjord and they are all that way --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.381 / Virus Database: 214 - Release Date: 8/2/2002
