Re: [RC] Odd gait on new horse - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Sarah Simmons Surgitech2001@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Sounds like a rack or a fox trot to me.  However, both of these should be 
smooth gaits that are easy to sit.  There are of course exceptions to this as I 
have ridden a TWH whose running walk was jarring and painful to my back.  I 
have a TWH that flat walks, run walks, fox trots, racks, does a stepping pace, 
and when he gets tired he will do a hard pace.  A hard pace is the only gait I 
find particularly uncomforatble to sit to.
