Yeah, basically his toes if it makes any sence should be on the same angle/degree as the top line going from the wither to the front of his shoulder. Same with his hip. So I can see why he had longer heels, though likely they were TOO LONG, maybe not so much should have been taken off? Or atleast his toes need to be brought back a bit to acommidate such an upright shoulder. But he's definately got the confirmation for gaiting. And probably a pretty fast gallop too.

he is getting progressively better. hopefuly by next week we can ride him in the grass ring and i can find out more about his gaiting. it is funny you mention his gallop because the barn owner is an old cowfarmer and everytime he looks at him he comments on "boy i bet that horse can really let loose and run" lol. i personally dont see him runny unless something is chasing him. he is pretty lazy, but that might change once we get his feet all fixed up and some more weight on him.

I'm sure once he's feeling better over all he'll have much more spirit. His confirmation though shows he's built to run and fast. The steep slope of his croop/hip angle shows great drive from behind. The angle of his shoulders show a lot of reach. The shortish back shows a smooth even stride, agility and power that longer backed horses wont have. At a gallop my pony can out run anything that challeges her, even quaters and througbreds. Here's Sunny's Shoulders/Hips/Top Line
She's actually a bit straighter along her top line now, since she's been through jump training ,but she is pure fire, speed and agility.

we know nothing about him at this point. as long as he dont "run off" fast im ok with just plain running fast lol. he seems to be a very well trained boy. have no clue what he was used for before. he does not neck rein. he has a VERY smooth trot. i am unable to get him to rack under saddle, but i dont know how and he does rack in the field so i am going to put the blame on me for that one. we have not yet asked for a canter.

His heels were TWO INCHES TOO LONG and you didn't notice? You're either an idiot or blind. GIVE your animals to someone with experience and the money to care for them. This will ABSOLUTELY affect the gait. Got get some hooker heels and try running through the pasture. That's what you did to your horse!

It should be damned obvious that that is a problem! BTW, should your horse's internal organs become external, if he starts bleeding profusely, the eyes fall out, legs fall off, or his head explodes, these are all problems that should be addressed immediately. Sorry, I guess some things are just obvious to the rest of us.

Well, TM I've kept my mouth shut reading all your comments, but it appears that you are going continue the insults. All I can say is that with your attitude, you'd never touch a horse on my place. I guess a cattle ranch is the best place for you so you don't have to interact with idiots anymore.

I am going to have to chime in here too... and strongly agree. It seems "TM" that you are going back thro old posts and being extremely rude. I always learn from the experience on this board, whatever it is. But I believe you are the first one to deliver your experience with such strong insults. And while you are noticably different... try changing your tone and delivery, I might understand more of what you are saying. Thanks so much for understanding!

I certainly don't want to steal this persons posts but I am having problems with my fox trotter gaiting consistently. I just had the farrier out and he made her fronts 55 and backs 52. He does pretty much go by natural angles but I have been told it should be 52ish in front and 55ish in back to make her gait properly. Now she does foxtrot 80% of the time but used to foxtrot 100%. Does anyone have advice for me on these angles? Last edited on Sat Aug 27th, 2011 03:33 pm by tmdeck ____________________ tammy |
