Re: [RC] speaking of twh/mft - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: <heidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Yes, part of what makes an endurance horse is biomechanical efficiency. (And again, the most biomechanically efficient tend to be those who have good walks, good trots, good canters, AND the versatility to break the trot up into a 4-beat gait downhill.) That is extremely interesting, as that is exactly what my Anglo Arab taught herself to do... on the downhill pick up a singlefoot or broken pace. It was much faster than a walk, and fairly smooth. On the level, the Anglo had the best trot of any horse I have had...and a very smooth canter. She started out a plodder at age 4 1/2....and by age 7 had developed a fast walk.
