Refund is a great looking horse. To me he is not pacing but more of a rack since Margaret doesn't slip side to side when he slows down as one would do on a pacer, just like a camel.
I don't get it... We raced these in harness 30 years ago. OTTSTB were easy to find and my friend had one For the life of me that horse hurt to sit at any speed but fast. On a trail ride to match a relaxing trotting speed, it was pure hell to sit and i used to just stand. Fast was fun, but got boring and wasn't versatile!
In Germany a man takes the pace and changes the gait to a 4 beat tolt. They sell like hotcakes! I've ridden pacing Icelandics (in Iceland) and was miserable too.. unless FAST!?
contrary to what a lot of people I know have said, STBs..especially pacers, are extremely comfortable to ride. I've had a bad back for most of my adult life and can't honestly think of any other horse I'd rather ride than my pacer mare.
its thier breed. (standardbred). they are usually raced in buggies. they are fun to ride, some of them leaning in the turns can scare the crap out of you..lol
yea. there are 2 different kinds of them, this one is a pacer, they move their legs in a diagonal gait, the trotter, it moves like a regular trot u would see on any horse, but they can keep goin faster and faster with it. :) hope i helped

Yeah you did! I've never seen a horse do this in person I guess, so I wouldn't know. Wait, do TWH do it?
katie2993 2 years ago

MajiksGurl224 2 years ago
Oh, okay. Just wondering. My friend has a TWH and he has a lot of different 'gears'. Lol.
