great pics, there is a trotting horse trained near ours,.............my own horse

makes me laugh when i ask him to canter he trots even faster, don't think he

realises that it takes up more energy than a canter..............
 
Great pics :thumbsup: ..I see there are getting to be more and more colored trotters making appearences now & skull caps too...it used to be the guys on the sulkies did'nt give a toss about safety when they were flashing the horses but it has all changed now.
