Part 2: (I now want to hunt down the author of the original text and shoot him for bad sentence builds).
In the southern states – Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri – they used to, and still do, breed great strong races with gentle, comfortable walkways. In the saddle of one of these the Spanish-French-Cerulean plantation-owner could really feel like a GENTLEMAN/MASTER. Tennessee-Walker, Five-gaited-American Saddlebreed and several other races. Their tølt-walkways were especially well paid for.
Of the Tennessee-horse’s WALK it is said: “Nothing has ever calmed a lonely, (Auko says: following here was an untranslatable word, but I think the english meaning they try to get is scared/untrusting of horses) rider, and made him trustful again, than riding on a Walker; no other breed of horse have ever contributed to the world of horses a larger number on converted people. Scared beginners and riders that had developed a fright of horses due to previous bad experiences, and experienced riders, that perhaps had experienced a dangerous fall or that due to illness didn’t care about riding anymore, or that didn’t think that they could anymore due to old age; All immediately experienced a wonderful feel of safety and soon revived the joy for the sport, that many had already abandoned in despair or cowardice. All because of the liquid movement and jolt-free ride, that the Walker offered them.”
And the same can without any hindrances be said of all tølters, Meaning in Europe the Icelandic horse, the fullblooded-tølter and the newly acquired/imported Paso Fino.
And this calming, secure walkway is an all-out exquisite riding-pleasure. It’s rhythm is both insisting and – with it’s gliding, graceful repetitions – relaxing. All depending on the horse’s size, temper and talents, tølt offers a wealth of nuances, that with growing knowledge is a wonderful task for a rider to explore. A good tølt always make the rider seem/look happy.
For those that have a trained eye for the common European way of riding, all tølters are quite a striking sight: Head held high, lower throat slightly curved forward and the back vaulted downwards. Legs are drawn powerfully into the air, head nodding and the vibration, that runs through the entire horse and gives the ridden-in tølter it’s bubbly (sounds wrong in english, but that’s the word J ) ease, continues in the tails wavy movements.
Tølt is known under numerous names in many breeds around the globe. In Mongolia a horse that walks in a trained/schooled tølt has three times the worth of a normal trotter, and a natural tølt, that tølts without the influence of the rider for hours at the time, is worth eight times as much.
In Russia tølt is called “perestrup”; it’s found especially amongst those breeds that are descendants of the ancient turkmener-horse. Except from in Europe, where tølt was systematically rejected and only kept in remote places like Iceland and Basque Spain, there is hardly country in the world that doesn’t have a selection of tølting breeds.”
Ursula Brun continues in her book to tell about varmbloodtrotters that tølt:
… “Since that time the trotter of the race-tracks have been discovered as a new, valued for leisure-/free-time-pleasures. It cannot be ridden in the classic way, or very tightly; It’s build is not suited for that. If you pull down it’s nose, it tensions on the pack, and the horse feels pain. But if you let it have the nose free and allow it to lower it’s back, it walks with earthwinnig steps, a brilliant tølt and the most wonderful gallop.”
