Its called a lope, its actually a really good lope and since this is western not english the horse is trained to lope not canter

[gunnerboy1000]

People, like RatsRule said, it's a western pleasure lope. It isn't painful for the horse, it isn't gross looking, it's just a different type of canter from the other canter that you guys have seen. It isn't a bad canter at all, it's pretty good, actually. I loved the video, it was very nice.

the low head, long loose reins, and the "lazy" look is what a WESTERN PLEASURE horse is trained to look like! go up to the top and search westernpleasure360 and click the first video and that will show you what western pleasure should look like and how natural the horse is moving!

This lady is bugging me w/ all of her untrue facts.... U can kick with both legs! It doesn't matter!

Hmm, my horses lope/canter w/e isn't like that, much smoother and less limpy looking :p All the horses i've ever rode have been smoother actually. western is the only style I've ever rode and I haven't seen a horse look like that before :p

LAZY HORSE ALERT!!!

[CanterQueen820]

woow thats one lazyy horse. look at the way he walked along the rail! and i hate how a lope looks. :-/ ...it looks like a injured trot, like the horse is lame or something, but he's really loping...i like a real canter better. :-/

[rokgirl86]

I dont like western cantering or loping whatever, i dont think it looks nice. the reins look about a mile long and the horse could bolt and the ride wouldnt have enough control. it looks like its dragging along to..

not at all nice in my opinion

@iheartzezlonagan who cares its the same thing just different wording

[AmyArtist97]

@twireimoonshine7 lmao NP (:(:

[iheartzezlonagan]

@wabby1123 Well yes and no, both are really similar but if you watch a horse canter and a horse lope then you'll notice the difference. Sorry that I seem so nit picky

[wabby1123]

@iheartzezlonagan its almost the same thing. y do u have to point out the little stuff
