I rode an Arab that belonged to a friend one time that had a trot like that. I was thinking about buying him for a CTR horse. I couldn't imagine riding him for 40 miles. The Arabs I had had nice trots.

The QH's I've rode all have easy trots to post too. Not so springy.
Rusty's long trot, is like floating, takes very little effort to post it. Harley's is a little springer, but not bad. Rocky's is OK, but being short legged, he's rather short strided, so on him, its' updownupdownupdown....:)

Bay has two different 'settings'. His big working trot that he settles into for endurance is easy to post to. His slow trot is hard to sit ~or~ post to, because it seems he keeps the same cadence but just goes ~up~ instead of forward. If he were to do dressage, this would actually be a ~good thing~, but it's not easy to ride it.

I have another clip that would show ithis, but you're having trouble seeing clips, and the clip is in yet another format, and the album won't accept it because it's too big I think.... and we just have barriers this morning ;~D
