Is this model horse walking jogging?

Sorry to ask a model horse ? in the real horse spot but hey. I was looking over my new model horse and I can't tell if it is walking or jogging. It is this one http://www.stonehorseref.com/Horseinfo.aspx?HorseI... from the way his weight looks i am thinking maybe jogging but what do you guys think?

    It is doing that sloooooowwww "pleasure" horse jog, in which the less the joints bend, the better in the judge's eyes. Look for some photos of Western "Pleasure" horses and you'll see. (I put the word pleasure in quotation marks because, as a friend of mine commented as we watched a bunch of WP horses slink around the ring like whipped dogs while their riders yanked yanked yanked non-stop on their faces, "With pleasure like this, who needs pain?")

    Source(s): I'm a model horse hobbyist, a horse owner/rider, and have also seen more Western "Pleasure" classes than I care to remember.

    You're right, he's jogging. This one's a Peter Stone, but I have Breyer's Western Pleasure model, which is very similar. The first time I showed it, I labeled it as walking, and the judge marked me down, because it is jogging. The next time I showed it, at the state 4-H model horse show, the judge asked everyone with that mold whether the horse what gait the horse was doing. I got it correct that time, and ended up winning the class.

    Am so sorry to your loss and for the relatives of this female. I have not any thought how previous you're or how lots actual existence experience you have with horses. Reining is a international of it somewhat is very own, I even have shown 4 distinctive reining horses in my existence in NRHA shows and gotten ROM's on all 4, 2 of them I owned the different 2 have been purchasers horses guy or woman who became an AQHA champion, and considered one of my very very own who gained the reining futurities in 3 states and slicing futurities in 2 states. i like to artwork with youthful horses you boost a satisfaction in understanding you carried out something with the horse no one else has. i'd purchase the filly, supply her some months off of the reining practise path journey her and permit her cool down and relax, do not take the footwear off her, permit her get use to them through path driving and stroll trot and canter in the international, through all means have her vet checked to be sure there are not any actual issues, supply her ninety days and then start up practise slowly.

    A trot is a two-beat diagonal gait. If he were trotting or jogging he would have two feet off the ground. Since he only has one slightly off the ground, I think he is walking.

    to me it looks like a extended walk, just the way his head is so low, and his legs. but then again it kinda looks like a jog, but i doubt it.

    He is walking. He is doing a western pleasure walk, which is why his head is down so low.
