Gallop

Roger galloping in slow motion.

Roger is a 17 year old Connemara x pony who i've owned for over 6 years. For those of you asking how fast he gallops we timed him on a 100m stretch - he did it in 8.8 seconds which works out at around 40mph.
My friend videoed this on his LG Vision phone which has a slow motion setting.

@TheBestRightNow55 not to offend you but no he doesn't need to sit down or let the horse have more rein you stand in the stirrups so that you aren't banging away on the poor beasts kidneys and spine. also if you give more rein you loose your ability to control the horse as well, also another reason to stand in the stirrups is so that you can 'give and take' with the reins in motion with the horses head movement so that you aren't jerking in their mouth. this person was riding amazingly well TYVM

@TheEquestrianForever I have glasses too, and I wasn't wearing them or my contact lenses at the time, so :L

If anybody here is a true equestrian (they will also know what that means) they would see that this is definetly a gallop I'm twelve and I can see it (I have been studying them since I was in third grade.)
