We had a little Arab mare that was a problem jigger when I got her; after
some months of convincing her that was not an acceptable mode of locomotion; she
developed some sort of very fast singlefoot that was very comfortable.
She was pretty close up Witez II on both sides.....
several people have asked or mentioned that my horse looks
gaited....."single-footing", gaited.... "what's her lineage?"
I think she usually walks this way when I first get on and especially
when she is excited. I thought she was just walking fast.
Are there particular lines of arabs that are "prone/subject" to being
gaited?
Is being gaited a good thing for endurance?
She can trot pretty fast downhill on good footing..... not sure if that
is something related to possibly being gaited.
I got her at a "rescue" auction.
Her dam and sire:
Prowa #0371090
MQF Desert Flame #0399758
By the way, can anyone with a AHR disk, tell me who the current
owners of the above horses are? I'd like to try to get photos of my
horse's parents. Last I knew, the mare's new owner lives up in
Northern California and the owner of the sire is in Bakersfield, CA.... but
that was back in 1997.
