Thanks for looking that up, Renie...  Makes me feel like less of a "senior
moment" for having said he was at Travelers Rest...  <g>

No real reason for them to mention that he was gaited, as that was a
fairly common occurrence among the old-line horses.  It wasn't unusual to
see them shown in 5-gaited classes, even--back in the days before such
classes were relegated to specific breed shows.  Another poster posted me
privately and listed his TWH registration number, where they had looked
him up.

Several of the Kellogg horses were likewise gaited--*Raseyn and Rabiyas
come to mind, right off the top of my head.

RT Muffin (AERC Hall of Fame) was gaited.  We had his mother toward the
end of her life, and bred her to our stallion Abu Ben Surrabu ("Junior")
who is also gaited.  Their daughter gaits out in the pasture when she is
relaxed and just traveling along.  She likewise has a gaited daughter. 
Don't have either one of them started under saddle yet, but am looking
forward to it!
