We think it is odd too, but then again, it is
an odd horse....most laid-back Anglo Arab I have ever seen. As it seems to
be both faster and smoother than her regular walk, we are thinking this is a
good thing! I wonder if it is a conformation thing...this mare is built
pretty uphill, and has big withers and shoulders, wide chest.
Most Standardbreds that are pacers will walk on the
pace. My friend has a Russian Trakenher stallion that walks on the pace
also. Although, he doesn't do it so much anymore as they are trying to
correct it. It is a fatal flaw in a dressage horse:)))). (as far as
scoring goes). I think it is odd that an Anglo-Arab does it.
