I'm Lytha from West Seattle, Washington. I moved to NRW, Germany in 2007 and married a wonderful German man who understands my love of horses and fulfilled my dream of living the last 2/3 of my life in the country, with my horse in my backyard.
What a pretty girl!! And a lovely trot stride! She seemed a little "up" (ya think?) but was careful inthe soggy footing and settled nicely towards the end.
She's def. got the moves like Jagger, and here's what else she's got: rhythm. Her footfalls in the sand arena are absolutely rhythmic at the trot--then she picks up a canter for a few strides, but returns to EXACTLY the same rhythmic trot as before.
My guess: you've got a nice endurance prospect there!
evensong, i was happy about that puddle, because she didn't freak out about it - she went in it when she had to, avoided it when she could, like a perfectly normal horse.
aarene, wow, you just made me glad i did not put music to that video (well if i did it probably would not be available outside the US *lol*) also, i felt a twinge of regret when my vet was here and he wanted to give her a lameness exam. at the time i said, "no worries, she's sound." and then thought, "oh crap...is she really, really sound?" but this video shows a sound horse, and i'm glad you confirm that. who is jagger?
the crossfiring at the canter, the upside-down carriage, i'm not too worried, i just had to share that trot, esp after your trip up north and that video of that standardbred. i saw that and thought, geez i wish i had an arena to let her loose in. well..i wonder if i could turn her loose next door...
tonight i got home late and she did some trot pirouettes with much head tossing - two complete 360s. i think it was a tantrum or something. not sure what that was about. i've never seen a grown horse do that, just foals, but the foals don't toss their heads in defiance. man i wish i knew what i've got. i feel like i've got one string off the package so far.

(Not especially safe for work)
Nice, good cadence at the trot. Inverted, but that will change with time - as you teach her to carry herself. Love seeing the countryside too!
Wow!! what a floating trot. that was fun to watch. Elise and I are dying to fly out there and ride her! :)

Dang she can really move out at the trot!!! I love when she went through the puddle and was stepping high. Cute! :) She such a pretty girl!
Ooh I Just Love The Way Her Hooves Sound On That Sand, With Her Floaty Trotting!
That Trot Reminds Me Of My Mares Long Trot Gait...I've Got To Two Point , Can't Post!
She's So Beautiful.
