she sounds like shes drunk " Nowwwwww we have our horssse"

It is a jog, it's just not what people really picture when they think of a jog or trot. It does in fact look almost like a quick walk, but if you watch the rhythm it's easy to tell the difference.

I don't wanna sound like a know it all, but when you're riding with spurs you need to keep your heels down more so that you won't keep hitting your horse with them.

Someone needs to take her spurs away. She is over spurring her horse. I agree with using spurs but only if you correctly know how to use them.

I feel so bad for that horse... You suck at riding by the way...

[mycatsnameishoudini]

if it was my horse i would want it to bend it's front legs more while jogging. you can see when it transitions from walk to jog that it's front legs keep on walking for a few steps. i'm not saying it's wrong but i would definitly not want that. it seems to be pretty weak in the front which is probably why it doesn't feel like lifting that much. i'd work up the muscles in it's front to make it more stable.

I'm trying not to sound rude but I think her knees are too bent...but idk I've always had my knees at only a slight bent otherwise it puts too much stress and strain on the knee

I know this comment is way old, but that is in fact a jog. It's a smooth western pleasure jog. One, two, one two instead of one, two, three, four as in a walk. You can see their different.
