Standardbred Retraining Episode 12: Slowing the trot (part 2)

Once again, working on helping Fredo develop a slower trot with a more consistent tempo. Fredo is a big horse with a bigger step, and he can occasionally get a bit strung out and quick at the trot. It's a work in progress, but today we're working on frequent transitions and changes of directions to keep him from speeding up in the trot.

I am enjoying watching Alfredo.

He looks amazing! I am curious if you have had any cart pacers and if so how you have taught the canter ! Would love a video on that ! One more question what do you use to film ?

[@ColleenNolanTran]

I had my husband film this one because my pivo wouldn't work 🙈, but I usually use a pivo or a GoPro!
I do have two other standardbreds who are pacers. I don't think I have any videos on how I introduced the canter, but it really depends on the horse!

He looks so good! Was he a trotter or pacer when he raced?

[@ColleenNolanTran]

He was a trotter! My other standardbreds are pacers 🙂
