Re: [RC] Gaited horses 'artificial' gaits - Heidi Smith"but I would question the accuracy of an author who lists all the soft and lateral gaits as "artificial" What a hoot! My unregistered TWH/Racking gelding was trained by a non-gaited horse trainer (fprmer arab trainer) as a pleasure horses, never had any special trimming, shoeing, devises or training. At liberty he trots, paces, running-walks, caters, cross-canters (does that under saddle too, unfortunately), and some undefineable variations on all of the above... Never mind the fact that young foals often exhibit their gaitedness right from birth....
