I love how European breeders rely on genetics and not artificial shoes or weights to achieve high action. The high carriage definitely feels a lot more natural in the Hackney or Dutch Harness than in the Saddlebred or Tennessee Walker.
What trainers do in the name of high stepping is nothing more than torturing a horse. These practices should be banned and criminalized especially since you can buy a horse that does it naturally!
As a Sarah, I got a good laugh when 417 🐎came on with her beautiful foal, who wanted to do their own thing. A joy to watch these mothers and foals move🌹
s o adorable as some of these foals think they will do their thing and mom can do her thing so that way each will be a winner and get 2 prizes. Hahahahaha🐎
