This is not too slow, western pleasure is not supposed to be fast. And to the woman riding, you seriously need to keep your hand steady.

Guys guys guys. She's not wrong. And yes THAT IS A WESTERN LOSE. Cantering and galloping are faster. A lose is a slow gait, the horse is using its hindquarters to move forward instead of its front. The jog is correct also. She may not be an expert but she obviously knows more than all of you dissing her. Read a book about western terms while you're at it. :)

@maxylab13240 well it was a lope, how ever its called four beating, when a horse does a half jog half lope type stride.( i find it bumpy and un-atractive looking)
