The first few tries of Spanish Walk... 

The first few tries of Spanish walk can be a bit messy as some horses strike big or out of rhythm or even slightly sideways, so watch your knees.
This horse has had a few weeks of training Spanish walk in this video so he’s doing quite well although not yet as equal or rhythmic as we want.
However, the biggest problem I see with Spanish walk is that trainers forget to teach the horse to actually walk at the same time.
The Spanish walk is not supposed to be a strike or a stomp and then a walk (although it can start this way), the lifting of the front feet is supposed to happen in the 4 beat rhythm of a real walk as the end result. It’s similar to a collected walk but just much more elevated.
