Re: [RC] gaited arabs? - Laney HumphreyI owned an arab who taught himself to singlefoot because I wouldn't let him trot going home. I owned another one who jigged for 20 miles once. He probably could have learned to gait if I'd had him long enough to encourage it. The arab I own now has a really slow walk so I decided, during Day 2 of the Bryce Canyon ride last year, that I would teach him to gait in order to speed him up. He did learn he had to walk faster but I doubt he'd ever learn to gait because he just isn't built for it. My Spanish Mustang gets accused of being a Tennessee Walker but had a great trot and would never learn to gait. Each horse is different!Laney Karen Sullivan wrote:
