Well Darn! You need to learn how to do that. After all, you're our resident expert on posting stuff. ;o)

HEY! I ~CAN~ do it! Our new photo album accepts movies! We are just trying out this software and I am just barely familiar with it, having only uploaded to a few of the albums so far, but ecurbh honey... I really like this feature!

movie of racking horse

Here is Froginablender's description of the clip: "Here’s a little clip of my riding Buddy, Shirley, and his mare, Spot, doing a nice trail-pleasure type rack. This is about the speed we do trails at. Turn your sound up and listen to the rhythm of her footfalls. It’s a perfect 4-beat gait. It would’ve been better if I hadn’t opened my goofy mouth and told him to “keep going”. I forgot how loud it picks up nearby voices."

The rack looks like a broken pace. It looks like a couple of times the horse almost falls into a pace, on his left side.

It does look smooth though. (ANYthing would be smoother than a long-legged, long-pasterned Thoroughbred hunter's springy trot!)

You can't tell it by looking at this video, but this is a big mare. She's around 16hh and weighs 1500 lbs if she weighs an ounce. The guy riding her is at least 6ft tall. She looks almost like a pony in the video because she's so fat. She's the most "Drafty looking" gaited horse I've ever seen. AAM, She does tend to fall into a pace if asked to go much faster than this. I have some other (former) riding buddies who's horses rack MUCH faster than this. That's kinda why I don't ride with them anymore. I can't keep up without pacing or cantering. I'll try to get some video of them the next time I run into them.
