@Leanne1986 My old horse was an ex roper and a foundation quarter horse named ” Little Ruby Jewels Regis,” barn name ” Budgie”.
He was SO FAST after being a header horse that needed the speed for breaking the line.
The slightest shift of your weight forward in the saddle was his que to launch like the scud missile. haha
I once let a friends husband ride him, and he took him down my driveway and when he turned him around, and urged him to go he came galloping up my driveway at light speed, white as a ghost and exclaimed, ” now that is a horse!” lol
He had never ridden a finely trained “real” horse, only slog along on the trail,bored out of their mind, rental horses.
