voila je suis proprietaire d\'une petite jument (1m49), debourree depuis septembre 2001 qui parfois marche a l\'amble, elle ne le fais jamais au trot, qui d\'ailleur est tres bon. Certain me dis que ca peut s\'arrager d\'autre non, que cela vient de son croisement: P.R.E X pur-sang americain. J\'aimerais savoir si celas peut s\'arranger et comment. Et elle a aussi parfois un problème au galop qui passe de 3 temps a 2 temps. ces problemes aparaisse seulement monter car en liberte tous est normale.

I own a small mare (1m49), broken since Sept 2001 and she sometimes seems to amble at the walk although she never does it at the trot,gait which she carries out very finely. Some tell me it can be changed and others say there\'s nothing to do and that this gait is due to PRE an US TB crossing. I\'d like to know if my problem can be fixed and how.
My mare also has problems when cantering since her gait goes then between 2 and 3 strides; this problem only arises when she\'s ridden; when loose in the pasture, all her gaits seem normal

Allège Ideal
J\'ai beacoup d\'experience des chevaux qui amblent, car j\'ai eleve et mis sous selle des "Gaited horses" au cours de plus de 30 ans. (pardonnez le Francais horrible, je suis Americaine et n\'ai pas l\'hablitude d\'ecrire en Francais -- en plus mon email ne supporte pas des accents).
Les chevaux dits "gaited" amblent souvent au pas. Pas grand nouvelle, car les allures de ces chevaux sont bases sur l\'amble, meme si ils ne doivent pas travailler dans cette allure exacte en "allure moyen" entre le pas et le gallop. Les miens font le "fox trot" .. ou le "running walk" .. pas l\'amble, mais dans la meme famile. Pour executer ses allures, il faut "exterminer" l\'amble au pas.
J\'ai trouve que des exercise au pas faites avec l\'encolure bas, avec les mains biens bas, contact legere (cheval doit s\'etendre vers le filet, ne pas etre contrainte entre mains et jambes)sont tres efficaces pour eliminer l\'amble. Repetant souvent la descente d\'encolure permet de decontracter le muscles dorsales et nuchales. Ces muscles contractes incline a l\'amble ... sans contraction, l\'amble va commencer a evaporer. Un autre exercise beneficial, est travaille avec cavallettis, au pas et trot, qui aide aussi a la decontraction.
En suite, pour detuire completement cette allure pernicieuse, il faut aider le cheval d\'envoyer son energie a travers son dos, utilizant les jambes un peu actives, en maintenant l\'encolure bas, encore avec contact legere. Ceci fait elever un peu la base d\'encolure, un autre clou dans le cercueil de l\'amble.
Il est fatal d\'essayer de canalizer entre mains et jambes un cheval qui vous offert l\'amble sans premierement decontracter le dos et encolure .. en ce cas, l\'amble devient plus en plus fort, et l\'on n\'arrive jamais au pas correcte.
Meme les chevaux qui amblent a liberte peuvent "guerir" et marcher en 4 temps egales au pas. Bon Chance!
English version:
I have a lot of experience with horses that amble, because I have spent the past 30 years raising and training Gaited horses for riding.
(please excuse the horrible French, I am an American and don\'t often write in French, and in addition my email doesn\'t do accents)
Gaited horses frequently amble at the walk (we call it a stepping or broken pace). Not big news, because the gaits of these horses are based on the amble, even though they are not supposed to travel in this exact gait as their intermediate gait between walk and gallop. Mine do a fox trot or a running walk, not an amble, but in the same family. To do those gaits, you must exterminate the amble at the walk.
I have found that exercises done at the walk, with the neck and head lowered, with very low hands, and light contact (the horse must reach forward to the snaffle bit and not be constrained between hands and legs)are very effective in getting rid of the amble. Frequent practice of the neck lowering exercise will stretch the back and neck muscles. When these muscles are tight, they incline the horse to amble, but if this tightness is eliminated, the amble will begin to evaporate. Another exercise that will help is to ride over cavallettis in the walk and trot, also stretching those muscles.
Next, to completely destroy this pernicious gait, you must help the horse send his energy through his back with active legs, keeping the neck and head low, still keeping light contact. This will help raise the base of the neck (in front of the withers) putting another nail in the coffin of the amble.
It is fatal to try to channel horses that amble between legs and hands without first doing this stretching of the neck and back. In that case, the amble gets stronger and you never get to a correct walk.
Even horses that amble at liberty can be "cured" and work in a 4 beat, even walk. Good luck!
