I have a five year old Quarter Horse that is trained in hunt seat and starting dressage. This fall he had surgery and is just starting to be ridden again. Due to the nature of the surgery (he's club footed) he has to have rocker shoes on and the way they are made it has him having an even shorter stride than he already did, making it very hard to post. The prognosis is light use for him so i was considering western pleasure.
My question is, is it possible to train him to do western pleasure even though he doesn't naturally move slow. He's not a big mover, nor too fast he's just very choppy looking. Any information would be helpful.
