Kimberly Harrison wow!  Thanks for all the ideas!  Jack and I will get on these ASAP.  Stay tuned.🙂

Kimberly Harrison sorry for the late reply!🙂. That slow walk is best addressed using an aid outside of the normal cues.  I will ask for an extended walk with a subtle cluck or maybe a squeeze, if the horse breaks into a trot, I will trot him in circles until he ralxes, then start over.  If he resists the forward motion, I'll follow up with a pop with my split reins, the tail of my rope, or a quirt.  If he trots from there, I circle.  If he slows down right away, I don't ask again, I just pop again.  Then, trot circles.  Eventually they figure out the desired speed and stay there willingly.  The constant cueing with your legs and seat is what makes them dull.  Ask once and expect them to get it.  Hope this helps.🙂

Courtney I'd just ignore it if she's not doing anything dangerous.  Gotta let a horse be a horse.🙂

Jasmin Eisenkolb Welcome!!  Thanks for the pics, I like your horse.  My RP is 40' (don't know what that is in meters🤦). I've used several sizes over the years and settled on 40 as an all around good size.  The only disadvantage is it's a little small for loping, but I really don't lope in there anyhow.  I guess the good thing about the panels is that you can play with different sizes til you find the one that suits you best, right?
