Seems to me I have been hearing that a lot of the gaited horses descended
from Arabians, and Arabians "used to be" gaited---so I for one can't see a
problem with bringing out what is likely inherently there---just IMHO.
It's kind of like learning to dance--I wasn't born knowing how, and it
doesn't come naturally to me in my every-day barn chores---but I could learn
to do it and enjoy it.

            Perhaps it is the unnatural trimming, weighting, and shoeing
over the long period of time that is the problem instead of the gait????
Just a thought.
