  • Can anyone describe to me what it feels like to be on the horse when its pacing?

  • @MOGPOGTOGZOG So Pass is a fast gait. Iceland horses will be ride only on short routes, as this gait, the horse very stressed and overworked. so about 200 meters, but there can be at straightest Iceland horse pretty quickly. the horse in the video is no islandpferdxD. But it is really a great feeling and a bit schaukeligxD But great.

    so i can't englisch but i hope i can explain you a little bit

  • @MOGPOGTOGZOG I've never ridden a speed pacer, but the TWH's that do a hard pace that I've ridden feeling like you're riding inside a washing machine. Since it's a two beat lateral gait, the horse's back is swinging from side to side, quickly and jerkily. Not a comfortable gait, IMO. Look how much the lady is bouncing.

  • HAHA! I no its cool, but at first it just looks so funny! my dog does that :P haha i just cant get used to it :)

  • i recently bought a pacing horse, and didn't know that he paced(because he can go on diagonals). it feels so awesome because you don't have to post! :D

  • I've riden a horse kinda like that but she was a speed racker and its really fun. (She did it by her self i didnt even know she racked untill i asked her to gallop and got a big suprize lol.)

  • I really love how fast horses go when they pace. The horse I ride is a pacer- and I just recently started riding him. Any one with advice on the best way to sit/position yourself while a horse is pacing- please comment back, thanks:)

    (P.S. Make sure you know what your talking about, cause I don't want any accidents, thnx:) )

  • Damn, that's a fast horse!! Beautiful mare!

  • Hey Sibble212. Why dont you sit your ass on a pacing horse? At that speed. Im sorry but its not easily done and she looks fine.

  • @JNitaye I actually have a pacer that goes faster than that and I ride him bareback

  • Umm learn to ride a horse maybe? You look like a mating rabbit

  • @sibble212 Got two things too say:

    1. You. Are. A. Dumb. Negative. Bitch. I would gladly punch you in the face.

    2. You ever ridden a pacing horse- not easy as it looks. That's how your supposed to ride, dumbass. How do you propose someone stays completley still while riding, huh? It's IMPOSSIBLE. When you ride, you get into the horses rhythm, and move with them. A good rider does anyways. Anyone trying to hold their body completley stiff while riding is an idiot.

  • @TikTokxoxo 1. You are a shit faced fucker and I would gladly kick you in the face 10 times 2. I ride a friggin pacer and it is pretty easy at least I'm not asking youtube how to ride if you're gonna ask youtube you might as well ride like this guy. And I realize you have to ride with rhythm, and he is obviously not. How long have you been taking lessons? That is not how  you're supposed to ride.

  • @sibble212

    1. If you'd read my comment properly you'd realize that I stated that I'd JUST started riding a pacer, idiot.

    2. Your the negative piece of shit who had to comment what you did and try to make someone else feel bad, not me. Which is why I commented back, to show you how it feels.

    And really, do you think what you wrote offended me?

    I'm laughing:)

  • @TikTokxoxo Just stfu if you don't know what you're talking about. Obviously you don't know that much about horses and you should probly take lessons. I can't even have a friggin conversation with you cuz u make no sense. Come back in 10 years when you actually know a bit about horses.

  • i got a horse thats still a baby but we training

  • Nice :) I have a standardbred off the track, bred for trotting but pacing/gaiting under saddle. I'm starting to get a flatwalk on him, he prefers the stepping pace (or did before he was supple enough) but he's chosing the flatwalk more and more on his ownnow. He also trots under rider. I've never used any equipment or tack to make him chose a specific gait, just plain training. So it's all natural I guess.

  • My horse raced once am

    nfd was never placed as he was too slow hehe.

    But now when I ride him when he first trots, he does that! and you have to stop him and start again and hes fine, but he does look like a chicken when he does it :D

  • your horse looks rediculous, why would you like doing that ? :L why cant you just trot normal way ? its more .. normal ? :L

  • @w33fiona Its not rediculous really it's quite fun! Aren't u just as stupid to know that's now trotting, it's called pacing, learn about a horse b4 you start mouthing pacing is the most fun thing there is to do. It takes a real person to ride a pacing horse. Do u even know what pacing is, it sure as he'll ain't trotting

  • At the Standardbred breeding farms you can see two day old pacing foals free pacing if that gait is in their bloodline.

  • I have a racking horse that's never been messed with before and he paces when he's feeling lazy... It's natural.

  • I have 2 standbreds we raised and neither ever raced or was trained in any way to pace - Yet, they both do it naturally. They also trot and canter... The first time mine started pacing with me riding it was really weird, smooth like a canter, but with a side to side motion. He falls naturally into pacing as I go from a trot to a canter, in between.

  • I beg to differ. I think that a pacing gait is natural. If you take two standardbred off the track (a mare and a stallion), breed them and raise their baby, unless you train them to rack or do otherwise, they will pace naturally. My family started out with standardbred that were once off the track pacers, and now like 20 years later the off spring still pace naturally.

  • To teach them to pace you simply get a set of racing hobbles and hobble hangers and put them on the horse which makes them pace you start of slow then you start getting faster.

    teaching a horse to canter is the same as getting themm out of pacing go up a hill if you want to get out of pacing trot up the hill if you wanna canter keep kicking and they will eventually get ito it

    It wont happen the first time!!

  • We had an older Shetland school pony that would pace all the time.

    She was never taught to do it, just did it in on her own during lessons, the looks on the kids faces when she did it was priceless!!

    Not nearly as nice as this horse though!

  • I have a standardbred that paces and Im curious how they actually train them to pace. I hate horse racing Im just wondering thats all. Do you know any videos that show how they train them?

  • I think Standardbreds are just natural pacers.

  • no its definatly not natural! have you ever seen a wild horse do that?! horses have 4 basic gates: walk, trot, canter and gallop. I dont know how the hell they train them to do this.

  • Yikes o_O. That's very odd :L

  • I cant find anything on how to train them only how to REtrain them to canter.

    Ive heard its quite harsh how they do it. I mean 2 legs on one side going forward at the same time instead of diagonals! what the hell do they do to them?

  • Yeah I know. My horse paces.

  • parelli has a man who studied under him. it teaches you how to teach a gaited horse to canter. it worked very well for my stb. the mans name slips my mind, but im sure i fyou looked up parelli and searched 'teaching a gaited horse to canter' or something along those lines you'd be able to find it.

  • canter isnt an actuall natural gait. it was bred into equines. the canter is a man made gait

  • It is natural. standardbreds either pace or trot. some are trained to rack.

  • No its not natural. Dont you think its a bit weird that only the ex racehorses pace?

    My friend has 4 SB's. 2 are ex racehorses and two arnt. Only two of them pace and thats the ex race horses. I mean look at this video, that sure shit aint natural!

  • this horse never was raced. i owned her at one time. she's tatooed but she never was raced.

  • You can get a standardbred out of pacing

    by trotting up a steep hill its almost impossable to pace up hill for them and they will relize trotting is easier

    it might not work the first time but after a while it will

    The hobbles are the only thing that really makes them pace but some of them will pace without hobbles(unhobbled pacer)if they were natural pacers all of them would pace without hobbles

  • @all4pharlap For one the don't make them pace it helps them to keep in gait

  • Hobbles

    Hobbles are the only thing that makes a standardbred pace if you took the hobbles off they would trot if they can pace without hobbles its an unhobled pacer which is quite rare to get

    if they have been racing a while(5 years and up etc)they will pace

    its easy to get them out of pacing tho

  • @all4pharlap Once again wrong!!!!!! Hobbles only make the horse stay in gait they make a set for both pacers and trotters. It don't make them pace

  • If you dont put hobbles on a horse they are gunna trot arent they? yes

    Hobbles HELP to train a horse to pace like standardbreds when racing it makes them pace and not trot

    once they get the hang of some can pace natually its called Free legged pacers

  • @all4pharlap not really. hobbles help them stay in gait, they are also used as a training device. i dont think they have been put on a trotter, that would be stupid. and a waste of time.

  • yes thats right they dont get put on trotters

    if hobbles WERE put on a trotter the trotter would then PACE

  • I have a question. I'm new to the horse thing. I have a trotter and I would like to get him in a smoother gait.I tried chains already. Will hobbles help. Do you put them on the front or the back.

  • @all4pharlap hobbles dont make them pace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it helps them not to break the pacing gait. how many times do i have to say that!

  • O.M.G omg

    Lets say you had a TROTTER racehorse

    then put hobbles on it and enterd in a pacing race the horse wouldnt PACE

    they dont natually pace they trot without hobbles UNLESS they have been doing it for there whole life and have a habbit of pacing then they are free legged pacers!

    my horse is an ex pacer he only paced when he was raced in the paddock and now when ridden he TROTS

  • yes they do. so like my pacin horse jack so hes a registered pacer and he was NOT taught to pace it is a natuarl gait for standardbreds, trotting and pacing are the 2 primary gaits for standardbred, its very hard to teach a trotter how to pace with out some serious training, and that dont include hobbles

  • Standardbreds are used for BOTH trotting and pacing so if it is "natual" to them the trotter would pace in a race.

    my horse was trained to pace in a race but he could not pace UNLESS he had hobbles on now he is a riding horse and he always trots if it was natual dont you think he would pace atleast sometimes?

  • @all4pharlap Ya think ya know everything huh? There are 2 breeds of standardbreds pacing and trotters pacin horses pace in a race tortters dont pace in a race because they are trotters. Don't argue when u dontknow what your talking about. LeArn about standardred and get back with me!

  • well i think i certainly know more than you

    I OWN a standardbred,my whole family races Standardbreds ALL standardbreds are related to Hambletonian so there are not two breeds at all they are all the same if the sire and dam raced trots then ofcourse the foal is going to be raced in trots explain why my horse was a PACER and when ridden he only TROTS never paces

  • No it won't make a pacer trot when ridden. just because u own it don't mean crap. Have u studyed the breed how many do u own I've own bout35 and still have. 6 so your so book smart so u think breeds and types are the same thing I though u would get that sorry since u know bout them I think a horse trainer like u would know what o meant. Seeing as u didn't I do think u need to further your education! I'm done wasting mytime with u. So immature

  • haha go get one of your "pacers" take him/her to the training track without the hobbles and have a look at that he/she does!!

    if they pace natually why would you bother putting hobbles on them?how come trotters dont occasionally pace in races??

    A Standardbred is a Standardbred

  • @all4pharlap not really. my horse is a registered pacer, and he paces on the track. i have seen videos of it. i think i know what my horse does. they wouldnt have 2 different types of standardbreds if they all paced now would they? nope. your really wasting my time.

  • but does he pace without hobbles on??

  • @all4pharlap yup everyday i ride him. all my videos hes pacing. all the horses i have ever had i havent had to have hobbles to make them pace. all the horses at breezyknoll stables pace without hobbles. all the horses i show with dont have on hobbles to pace. so their for your wrong.

  • @all4pharlap i have never! had a horse with hobbles. you must just have trotters. i havent used hobbles and none f my horses has had hobbles on him before they dont need them. they can move on better with out them. watch some showing videos on here, ALL of them pace.

  • @all4pharlap ywa he paces with out them on. in every one of my videos hes pacing.

  • then he is a free legged pacer then

    some horses can some cant

    depends on how much training,races in pacing they have had

  • jackhas been raced 22 times. so hes been doin lots of pacing. lol. was out for a year or 2 cuz of an accident. sorry for makin something bigger than it is

  • Thats alright,some horses can pace without hobbles(like your horse jack) and some just trot(like my horse Butch) i guess it just depends on how much pacing the horse has done (Butch only had 5 races) lol

  • @all4pharlap ahh i see.

  • as a matter of a fact ive seen many trotters break into a pace when they werent right. as well as one break into a pace with trotting hobbles on.. you know nothing of which you speak. people didnt make up a new gait it comes natural with many breeds. furthermore there were no hobbles on this pacer anyways so why are you even talking shit.

  • I mean if the horse was a trotter and then you put hobbles on it and entered it in a pacing race the horse would pace not trot

  • is she for sale?

  • definitely a pacin horse.

  • this horse is pacing not single footing

  • She is a great pacer
