They put most of their weight on their forlimbs. Im still wondering how much weight that they acually put on their legs though. There must be a lot of math to do with it though.
The horse, when trotting, will push you up. Rise with this push and use your legs while coming down. THE BEST WAY LEARN RIDING IS TO RIDE A LOT.You should rise when the horse's front, outside leg is forward.
Trotting is a gait, but skipping isn't. Trotting is like running, and the horse's legs move in diagonal pairs. In English riding, riders post to the trot. Winnie the Horse Gentler
The gait is called the "fox trot." The horse appears to be walking with its front legs and trotting with its hind legs.
To see it watch the horse in movement, a horse that 'jogs' (Western riding) is just Trotting slowly. The horse will move the opposite front and hind legs forward at the same time.
A trot is a two beat gait. you would be able to see the horses legs move in diagonal pairs.
if you mean what is trotting, then trotting is a 2 beat gait, the front legs and back legs move in a pattern that takes the front leg and the opposite back leg moving at the same time, you can either sit to this or post to it, and in western its called a jog
Locomotion, such as walking, running, galloping, cantering, trotting, etc. It's the horse's only anatomy that allow it to move from one place to another.
(with reference to a horse or other quadruped) proceed or cause to proceed at a pace faster than a walk, lifting each diagonal pair of legs alternately
A horse's legs are very important because all their weight (that isn't their legs!) is supported by their four legs. That's over 900lbs! So they have to be very strong and that's why if a horse breaks a leg it is usually fatal.
It all depends on where you sit on a horse, but your weight is spread evenly unless you moving to the front legs or the hind quaters.
A horse typically has four hooves, one on each of its four legs. These hooves are important for the horse's ability to move and support its weight.
The two legs that travel 30 kilometers each day are the front legs, while the two legs that travel nearly 31 kilometers are the back legs. This difference in distance traveled is due to the horse's natural gait and the distribution of weight while walking or running.
