Because it's a western pleasure jog. It's slow and relaxed.

[Horseloverrxoxo2]

Oh my days. Learn how to ride ? its not not 4 beats, its 2 and it depends how the horse/pony is trained so where i ride, i dont give it a nudge we say walk on etc.. .Not very equestrain? sorry im not the best speller?! but hey no one perfect.

[Ridin4Christ57]

Did she really just say that the trot is a four beat movement?!?!? That is just scary!

@HorsePrincess234 it would make a great roping or cutting horse if it holds its head down. a lot of quarter horses do it its one of the traits that made them desirable for cowboys.
