A Good Mover

Professional horse trainer, Larry Trocha offers a video on what he thinks it takes to be a good mover. He talks about a few characteristics that the horse should have. In his example, Larry evaluates the movement of a palomino gelding.

Some of the things he notices are:

• Feet stay close to the ground, unlike a gaited horse with a lot of action. In the western world, that’s not desirable
• The hocks don’t go way behind the horse, rather they stay underneath him
• Good extension with their front legs
• Natural collection

These characteristics are specific to western performance horses. You can check out the horse in action while watching this training video…
