Interested in Roman Riding?

[Vindex]

Guys, and girls, I was talking to a collegea an archologist who does horseback riding saddlelees on icelandic ponys. We came to the question did the roman horses use the "tult" ? Which is a confortable way of riding horseback. Just something which crossed my mind because the icelanders are a smaller breed of horses and an old breed to.
So , am I wrong?

Tult (or tolt)...no reason why horses can't do this pace. A flat, low actioned trot which is a lot easier to sit to than a bouncy, standard European trot (or the dreaded sitting trot which can be VERY uncomfortable on some horses). Some breeds are renowned for it and do it naturally as a development of the types of ground they cross.

Certainly keeps you and the horse fit.

Impressed by all the new pictures.
