Practical Horseman Extra: Sit the Trot or Not
Two questions covered in this month’s Practical Horseman Extra: Whether to sit or post the trot in a lower-level eventing dressage test and whether to put shoes on your horse or let him go barefoot.
In this Practical Horseman Extra:
- Event rider and trainer Steph Kohr explains that deciding whether to sit or post the trot in a Novice-level eventing test depends on your skills and your horse’s experience and temperament.
- In deciding whether to shoe or not to shoe, a top farrier explains that you need to consider what is best for your horse and these key factors: protection, performance, conformation and medical conditions.
