Not easy to make a horse run flat out withouth losing connection, rythm, and balance...trust me...after 11 years I think I'd know...I've been riding since I was 5, force to give up 3 years ago cos of HSC/Uni committments now...

I've trained Remi to Elementary Dressage, Prenovice/novice open eventing, 10 years pony club exp, hacking, showjumping, NSW Junior Equitation over fences Champion in my maiden year...
Carla's (Go For Jas) trained Grand Prix and was selected for olympics in her day (she's about 21 now), she mazed out about c-c-grade showjump and was never evented cos she was my sisters horse and she rode less than I did...

Pacers/Trotters ... not really understanding how they can compete dressage they lack the ability to canter without racing...in my experience anyway...

Yes, I'll agree I lose touch at full gallop esp. over uneven ground, I was thing more in terms of a 4' 10" elf riding in race conditions. Razz

Without boring everyone with details, my Family on the farm have a pace history and my Aunites brother in law is a respected trainer/driver and has a swag of trophys for trainer of the year etc. My Auntie formerly trained equestrian horses but was talked into owning training trotters, so they together with mum and I and my grandfather bourght into 3 horses from Paleface lodge in Temora the 2 of which I was part owner were involved in a float accident on the way home from a wagga Time trial and were injured. Seeing they were only 1 yr olds and not yet trained fully my auntie used them on the farm equestrian field as a reabilitation thing and one of them is showing some promise the other may be put to stud due to it's history (direct line from Palface Adios)
My apologies GRLTOY I'm not up on the equestrian classes but you sound as though you have a good thing going there you should keep at it after your studies.
My riding history is utter crap started riding when I was about 8. basically rounding cattle in the hills where bike fear to tread. Ended up Jackaroo'in near the S.A border for 18 months on horse back. I was the fool who kept putting my hand up to break in horses for the first time. and did a few rodeos for fun. My only attempt at equestrian riding resulted in being headbutted by the horse on a water jump being knocked unconsious and nearly drowning. Haven't ridden in about 8 years until I went for a group horse ride a few months back and I've lost the rythmn for riding (thou I nearly had it back by the end of the ride.)
By any chance do you know Debbie Hone? She may be before your time.
