when teaching a pacer to learn a trot (he trots normally in the pasture) under saddle, when they rever to pace, do you stop (transition to a walk) then ask again? He does very well picking up trot when using ground poles, but without them he tends to stick to his pace (sometimes he picks up trot- but its not consistent without the ground poles)
Hello! Yes! I would always come back to walk if Remi paced when asking for a trot transition. To make it less likely I would walk a small 5m circle and as I was finishing the circle with nice softness and bend I would ask for trot in the bend of the circle so less chance of the legs pacing
