Truman,you are The Man,having steered me right many times.HOWEVER: I must say I am skeptical of your mare doing a both a RW AND a hard square trot,unless she also exhibited a foxtrot. That is,if Eldon Eadie's gait timing progression is definitive.
My mare can do a nice RW with overstride, nod and teeth clankin', as well as a stepping pace, and trust me( I have to post)...a hard trot...and a foxtrot. Remember Eldon's work is all theory. Happy to send you pics of her doing RW and trot...same rider, same arena. She does not rack however.
BTW she is a gaited Morgan. I'd say she is wired towards the diagnal side but can do lateral gaits quite easily.
