Hi Mary, maybe Truman or Maryben will chime in as they have many more 
miles on a gaited horse than I do.

I have a WH who trots about 80% of the time. Since I didn't start life as 
a 
gaited person :) I let him do whatever gait he chooses - I pick the 
speed. Well I try to pick the speed :) So we trot, rack, pace, and do 
various and sundry other gaits as we go down the trail. I've been riding 
him for about 2 years - have done 1 50 on him last year and plan to do 
some CTRs and 50s on him this year.

Unless you specifically don't want to post (and I do like to post - 
gives me somthing to do <g>) and/or don't mind letting your gaited 
horse trot (a serious crime to some) then let him do the gaits he feels 
most comfortable doing to cover the miles.
