When I was a child we had a several ponies & horses, and the best one for learning to ride on -generally well-behaved, nice mannered, comfortable gaits, etc., was also the one that was by far the most skilled at removing riders she found tiresome, and she also had the trick of changing her gait slightly (especially her trot, already the hardest gait to ride comfortably) so that it became bone-jarring and extremely hard to keep time with.
