Great to hear from you. You would be v...Hey Kathy -<br />Great to hear from you. You would be very welcome for a visit!<br /><br />Bruce's trot is more like what you describe with Renegade, and he doesn't seem to like it when I post...Iona actually has a big Warmblood-ish trot - only speeded up! I'm very used to it, but it's not an easy one to sit. Fortunately she also has her Fell Pony version of a western jog if we have a long way to go bareback! <br /><br />However, her canter is quite smooth and "flat". I really enjoy riding this, but she doesn't reach forward much with her leading leg, which makes it hard for me to identify her leads ridden sometimes. The one time I worked on FLCs with an instructor I never felt them. I would have expected to see it from the ground, but it happened very fast...<br /><br />Looking at the conformation of my two Fells one day, I was puzzled about why Bruce looked so leggy compared to Iona, when he is smaller. I did some measurements. Although Iona is 3 inches higher at the "withers" (they don't really have withers!) Bruce's forelegs are 4 inches longer! <br /><br />Yep! I'm really looking forward to Jerry's visit!<br /><br />KrisKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13749886336720619824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945168991260585609.post-80880359463719007312010-03-05T20:32:57.961-07:002010-03-05T20:32:57.961-07:00Sounds like you had a great session Kris!! And it ...Sounds like you had a great session Kris!! And it won't be long now before Jerry Williams heads your way. Just think about all the learning and progress that will be happening then!!<br /><br />I had to laugh reading your description of Iona's little legs moving so fast. Renegade is the same way, his legs move pretty fast but his trot is pretty little and very easy to sit to, in fact it's easier to sit that to post!! I'm barely out of the seat when I need to be going down again for the next "up" LOL!!<br /><br />One of these years, I'm going to have to make a trip out there and join in all the fun it sounds like you're having!!<br /><br />Kathy Craigcraigeagle23https://www.blogger.com/profile/01147600714163989934noreply@blogger.com
