A video made to demonstrate the different marchas of the Mangalarga Marchador. Marcha Batida is a ground covering gait where the legs move in diagonal pairs. Like a trot, it is very athletic, but it is smoother because the legs move in disassociation, so there are moments of three feet on the ground making it very comfortable for the rider.
This is Brasilia do Summerwind, bless her heart. This is only her 3rd ride after having her foal in 2011. This is video 2 of 2. The other is for marcha picada.
