Trot training a Standardbred

[@TaraRaney]

I am new to Standardbreds but I love mine. He is so out of balance and he is willing to trot but doesn't want to trot for very long. I am trying to set up poles. How do you measure them? My SB is 17.3 hands and very long legs.

Poles really help retrained my free legged Pacer, but it was a loooong process. I’ve ride a lot of SB in my time but mine is actually the one who gave me the more trouble hehehehe. Yours seem like such a good boy :)

Great video going to try this method out on my racking horse😊

It's so awkward & somehow silly watching a retired SB pace around a ring. It looks so odd & out of place when I see it anywhere but the track!

Don't use long reins! Very dangerous since race horses are unbalanced when retired and need to be able to move their heads and necks to retain balance. thanks never the less for showing how amazing the horses are :-)
