I need some insight

[pompano444]

I own a standardbred pacer who has some potential,but he keeps hitting the bike when he swings his back legs,other than using a trotting bike are there any other solutions out there. Positive information would be greatly appreciated

Get a bike with longer shafts - you may have to get one specially made. I had a 17hh standardbred that use to kick my feet out of the stirrups once, it helps with the longer shafts :)

I am pretty sure you can buy shaft extensions as well which would be a lot cheaper that another bike. I know we used to use them on a horse a few years back but again bikes are very different over there.
