important element of training and riding any horse is "speed control".
We want slow horses to wake up and move out and we want quick horses to slow down
and relax. No matter what our style of riding, we are all trying to
achieve rhythmic, balanced gaits that can be moved up or down a notch at
our request. Speed control gives us variety within gaits, allows us
to cover ground when we want to, to work in tight spots when necessary, and
speed control gives us a smooth, comfortable ride. But above all, speed
control spells SAFETY. See these two Q&As for more information:
