Is there a way to influence which diagonal your horse will pick up in the trot? For example, in a Pas de deux, if you wanted both horses to match, how could you do it?
Yes, I know the horses should match, as much as possible physically. I was hoping there was a way to get a matching diagonal in the trot. Looks so nice when it happens.
I have seen pairs that were so well matched in their size, conformation and way of moving that they would often get their trot synchronized to each other. It is very impressive to see. On the othe rhand, I have never known their riders to take credit for making it happen. It just happens...
i've been wondering about this... if riders can synchronize their horses' gaits, can physical differences be overcome? a friend and i are working on a PdD--she has a white horse (lipizzan) and i have a bay (dutch). is it a dumb idea?
hm- nice question ^^ i guess to synchronize two horses needs requirements which are difficult to find. you need horses with precise step length while walking and while trotting (that will be the most difficult part). you need riders who know exactly which foot is actually moving while walking (sounds easy but often people don't think abut this fact). you need riders, who are able to give clever commandos to make te horses start walking with the same leg. if the first step for walking is not simular, the whole thing is done, i guess (i don't know it, eh? i am just thinking about it ^^) sounds really difficult.. ^^ have a try with the walk first before you start trying the trot ;-) and let us know what happend. curious greetings
Yes, maybe that is the way to start. I have been trying from a halt to a trot, using a shift of weight to influence which leg is used first. It happens that the desired leg is first about 60% of the time. It is hard to tell if my weight shift or just chance is the cause. I will keep working on it.
No, Pas de Deux horses should be similar in color, hight and exterior.

Not at all! Don't focus on synchronizing the gates, focus on precision of patterns and tempo and correct exercises!
