i have been riding horses my whole life but its my first time doing showmanship and my horse is having a hard time troting on the ground when i ask any tips???
Im not sure what your asking? To get a horse to trot you simply give them a slight nudge or kick with the inside of your foot, they may start walking first, if they do you give them another nudge or kick. It all depends on how your particular horse was trained and their temperment. Your saying at a show, some horses dont do well in crowds and panic and that may be why he/she wont trot. They sell blinders that can go on their faces and that way the horse sees only in front of them and not the sides. You need to be a little more specific with this question though..im not sure what your asking.
i do click at her, when shes being stubborn i use a whip and then she trots but we are not allowed to use a whip at the show. so im afraid shes going to be stubborn at the show.
You can make a clicking noise with your tongue- that always helps mine to trot when he's being annoying >.> You can always use a crop as well.
You should make a clicking noise with your tounge and jog with them to the side. Thats what i always do.
