The Power of Collection is Found First in Trot
Walk is the gait of healing, Trot is the gait of training. If we don't use each correctly, we make it impossible for the horse and rider to find the success they seek.
Article Summary
Recounting the experience of how a troubled mare taught us in real time the truth that Wynmalen shared, how the use of the walk alone will always fail in the creation of collection, because the pace does not lend itself to the creation of the energy required. Instead, a semblance of results will be achieved and all you will have achieved is a shortening of the forehand if this is the path you follow.
An unrestricted, powerful trot is the only place where you will find the power required for true collection.
