> How about the use of the weights for the tolt and how they affect the > trot?
Ya gotta figure if the horse is weighted to get a better tolt, it will also be affecting (probably negatively) the purity of his other gaits. We can pretty much see the negative effects on the trot at the shows, evaluations, competitions. Is this riding and training style being taught to the children?
