Did you know that your standardbred may have a really long history pacing… perhaps since they were a foal?! So although the idea of retraining a standardbred to trot might sound simple, it may be a very deeply ingrained habit that we have to work to ‘detrain’ before we can ‘retrain’.
If you stop to think about the big picture of everything your horse knows and has done up until this point in their life, it’s easy to understand why your standardbred finds trotting under saddle to be quite challenging.
