When Renny came home from Quicksilver, the most amazing thing about him was his powerful straight true confident trot and canter. They told me that he had a pretty short-strided trot for a pony his size and that I needed to work on making it longer. They said that currently it was about 8 feet long and that I should work on extending it to 9 and then ultimately 10. We are having a hoot of a time on that task. Both Renny and Violet are working on a brisk true trot and they can float past their stable mates during lessons. It's a lot of fun to feel their energy when they are moving out and soft and supple!
