Gaited Purebred Arab Update

[TddWil@aol.com]

Well, with only a small number of horses to use as a sample, I didn't find 
out much, except the trait appears to be from more than one source. I looked 
up 3 blue star horses. One had Fadl, who is pretty widespread, but the other 
2 did not appear to be related to any of the other horses I looked at. There 
was also a "pure" Polish horse. The others were crabbet/babson, crabbet/old 
domestic lines, and spanish/crabbet/polish. This is oversimplified, but does 
seem to show that a single source is not the case.
