Practice the gallop
Early May in Central Idaho and we have had a long winter. Snow is melting slower than normal, and good riding days have been hard to come by. I have worked a little bit wtih a few horses on basics. I took my top mare on a trail ride and she did pretty good; we were galloping home- then full run - then slow to lope- then stop. I remember at a reining clinic they suggested we practice the gallop on trails. Just get out and run your horse- I have not done that much because mostly I walk on trails. It was fun- gave the dogs a workout too. Happy trails to you. -
