I can't decide between the Foxtrot or the Canter....I love how smooth the Foxtrot is and it's pretty quick and very easy to ride bareback, but I love the Canter too it's fast and pretty comfortable. Can I choose both?
It depends on the horse. I usually love cantering though, just because it feels so free. On more western type horses with less suspension, I like jogging. On dressage type horses such as my mare, I love her walk. She just glides. He trot is extremely bouncy and the canter is yet to be established. :wink:
It depends on the horse for me! If a horse has a nice smooth rocking canter then i like to canter but if a horse has a really nice big and even strided trot i like that too. And who doesn't like a good gallop now and then!!!!!
It does depend on the horse-defintally. On my quarab i prefer the canta-it is like a rocking chair SO COMFY! And on Coug it is defintally the walk! His gallop is good to ! But if i am in a lazy mood i defintally look forward to Cougars rhymatic walk---so relaxing!! Trot WAY to boucy and his canta is real uphill. On flat ground it still feels like you are cantaring up a hill!
i love to canter. My old horse we'd go to a field and run and i'd let him choose the direction as long as he ran and he would get sooooo excited when i took him out there
The trot, without a doubt. Although I ride western, I can post along so that no matter how bouncy a ride, it's still a good ride :wink: Most of my horses seem to enjoy the trot most as well; it's a nice forward motion that they can keep up for long distances.
One of my horses with very short legs as smooth as gaited. But other one with long legs is really bumpy. I have problems to hold on even on walk bareback (keep sliding around lol!).
Benny has the most smoothest slowest trot!!
I had my mate come down and have a ride on him and she said she has never ridden a horse with such a smooth slow trot!
And yet he still manages to flick his legs in front of him :shock: going SO slow (track alot of ground, extend ect ect).
lol.

I love my horse's western jog. It is a dream to ride his jog when he is collected. The judge loves him to since he got 2nd out of 26 in a open show. My horse is poetry in motion! even though he was trained in contesting.

I say its between racehorse running and prancing! Boo has a beautiful prance for his long legs. He gets excited and starts prancing sideways when I don't let him go. Especially, when walking around the racetrack. He loves to run. In my opinion, if he were dying, the last thing he would do is race around the track. He has so much heart it seems wrong! I love him! LOL....
If you can't read this it says: "the more I learn about cowboys, the more I love my horse!"
My little pony, My little pony, You'll always be in my heart!
By the way, my cousin wanted to dye Blu pink with a purple mane so I could have my own my little pony! Haha...
An extended trot is fun, and of course so is a nice, smooth canter...
But I love the running walk. When I ride this one Tennessee Walker on trails, it's so nice... Particularly since his canter isn't very smooth, even for a TW... :roll:
Also, speaking of gaits, I was wondering if any of you had an actual name for an awkward transition between a trot and a canter... You might be beyond that sort of thing, but "tranters" as we call them are common for the trail horses we rent for an hour at a time. They're kind of fun; they definitely keep you on your toes. :wink:
hmmm, tough one. usually doesnt matter to me as long as i am on a horse lol trotting, cantering, galloping...i love them all
if i had to choose i would have to say a nice loose reined smooth canter. one of the rocking horse ones my mare has one of those canters where you could almost fall asleep while riding (don't try this at home folks ****) having said that, i nice extended trot is good too
