Ridecamp: RE: [RC] [RC] Born to Trot?

I believe that it was Reiner Klimke who stated that in one of his many

good reason. Klimke said it was a rare horse that had three good gaits
naturally.

My neighbor who rides Grand Prix level dressage as said many times, to 
look for a horse with a good walk and a good canter and forget about the 
trot. A good trot can be taught, a good walk and good canter has to be 
there.
