Hi Horses, access this site and it will tell you what you need to know.

Hi, again, Horses, after investigating that site further 'Pony Club' I did a little more digging and found out some things I didnt know. This will be more helpful, so hope you come back on:

Normal horses take 4 steps

Big strided horses about 4 1/2-5 steps

Remeber 2 steps for landing and 2 steps for take off with all horses. (So for a one stride with an average horse it would be 8 steps-not just 4)
