Re: [RC] Gaited horses-downhll - tprevatt

My walking horse mare was the same. She could fly downhill and do it very 
safely. The JBird ( Arab) is a good downhill horse but she would leve him in 
her dust. She was also hot - but safe. She might pull your arms and be shorting 
fire - but doing it going straight down the trail with a purpose. If we are 
lucky we get one great horse to ride in our lifetime. I've had mine - anything 
else is just icing on the cake.

My Peruvian Paso mare, *Marinera, was the fastest downhill horse I ever rode 
and in the 24 years I owned her, I do not think she ever once stumbled. I 
attributed it to the fact she picked those legs up high and plopped them down 
squarely rather than dragging them forward.  She was the most high strung 
horse I have ever ridden, but also the safest.   Julie Suhr
