Hi
Has anyone had any experience with retraining a trotter? We have a 3yr old with unknown breeding although said to be out of a trotter mare. She has previously been ridden and driven. Was brought from a friend of ours who brought her in poor condition with shoes on and fully clipped at less than two years old. Since then she has just had tlc and the old wander down the lane (led) or in hand session in the school. We have taken her to a couple of low key in hand shows but once the judge sees her trot she goes right down the line up.
Is it likely that this will improve with correct schooling once ridden or is it just how they are? Ideally we would like to do riding club activities with her.
Thanks
