That's pretty cool.
Bay can Piaffe, ie, trot (or even canter) in place, when he's eager to get going on a ride.
Yes and no on the pretty cool.
1) I actually think it all ties in to what ever her problem is. Even when not being rode she has a funny stride. She always walks with short tiny strides. She has never, that I've see, taken a long strided steps.
2) Like I said, she does it when she's nervous and it is NOT smooth:), and it's very hard to post to. It will wear you out fast.

Tennessee can do a racking "passage" across a rough field at 10 to 15 mph when we're heading back towards home. I'm trying to keep his head going straight but his butt is pointed towards the barn.
