I loved the post about Harvey's trail ride (new one for me).<br /><br />What I liked about this clip was the moment where Tortilas thought the answer was "canter" and his rider quietly brought him back to the passage and then Tortilas tried "extended trot" as the answer.

At the end, when he's moving out a bit and headed away from you, you can see there's actually a lot of power there.Allienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-72440727615192037132010-06-04T22:55:42.867-04:002010-06-04T22:55:42.867-04:00I think he's a fabulous horse who puts his all...I think he's a fabulous horse who puts his all into doing what is asked of him.<br /><br />That said, I just prefer a horse to rock back more onto its haunches than he does. I enjoy watching him, and he is incredibly gorgeous and powerful, I just prefer the way some other horses use their back ends. He makes me anxious to watch, rather than wistful and wishing I could do that. (Ravel?
