Yes I've heard that as well. Which when you think of the mechanics of an equine gallop - the slide helps dissipate a lot of forces with the front legs and the scoop gives them a purchase to push forward. Mind you I might have that all wrong. But I have heard the shear part of the stride is important. Excuse any misuse of terminology. -

I know exactly what you mean. I have a friend who I talked into buying their first horse. As luck would have it the horse has turned out very good - multiple Group winner already. However she has a very long stride and with a surprisingly high frequency. She won't go on that bend because its shifting under her. Yes the only way to ride Ellerslie now is to push forward early - hold your horse together round the bend and hope you are within 4 lengths on balancing in the straight. Or stick to the fence and hope you can get a run. -
Curious will be the one who has access to such information..but I have heard exactly that. I dug up a slow-mo video of a galloping horse and that seemed to be pretty much what happened. Interestingly - in a chat only yesterday with the very helpful and informative man from Aus, over to groom/harrow our polytrack - he also made reference to the need for the hoof to slide, and scoop for safe movement. -

Why didn't they just say this the first time rather than take pot shots at the industry's hard working horse persons? Good Morning Riccarton Synthetic Trials Wednesday Trial entries for the Synthetic Trials close with the Bureau at 12 noon Tuesday 22 April. At that point it will be decided whether to proceed depending on numbers.
