The old-time cowboys around here teach their horses to foxtrot. They just
walk the horse faster and faster, not allowing a trot, over rough terrain
and they say nearly any horse can learn the gait. It's smooth, fast, and
sure-footed. I followed a 78 year old cowboy in the mountains for 20 miles
last weekend on his App/TB that he trained to foxtrot. What an awesome gait
for moving over rough trails covered with rocks and roots.
