Thanks, Lynne!  He's going to have to put up with my learning about 
gaited horses.  Just so no one falls into the trap of thinking there is 
a perfect, i.e., sound minded, breed or cross out there, one of the 
nuttiest horses I've ever known was a Lib/Arab cross.  Managed to leap 
just so in the pasture and disattach most of its shoulder muscles.  Even 
with extraordinary care and treatment was probably never going to be 
sound and was nutty enough to keep reinjuring itself.  In general, 
though, I would think a Lip/Arab would be a fun cross.
