Find it on the No Worries Club: Speeding Up a Lazy Horse

“I have trouble keeping my lazy horse’s speed up. I’ve worked him to the advanced level, and he is very responsive and quite light. He won’t break gait, but he will slow down. I end up with a jog when I want trotting, and I end up with a sloppy lope when I want a […]

Most people think, “Surely if he’s a good riding horse in the arena, he’ll make a great trail horse.” That couldn’t be further from the truth. Trail riding is no different from any […]
