Laney,

 Raven only occasionally trots. He sometimes paces & usually single foots. 
Only one vet was slightly perplexed on Tevis. Many of the vets remembered 
him from 2001 & were happy to see him back again! He came into Foresthill 
pulsed down & vetted right through. At the other checks, he pulsed down 
quickly. He uses the vet checks well, mellows out & rests, eats, drinks & 
pees! Some vets have thought him fatigued on other rides because he was so 
mellowed out. Once he gets back on the trail he's revived & inspired! He's 
become a great endurance horse!

Congratulations Sue and Raven!? Just out of curiosity, does Raven trot
as well as gait?? Did the vets have any trouble assessing his soundness
if he only gaits?? Did he have any trouble cooling?
