I bet I wasn't the only person who thought since my horse didn't have a
registration number, I wasn't ALLOWED to choose half-Arab.

I'll be making the change soon, thanks.  Although, if there WAS a "gaited"
designation I think I would not mark it, as the trot is our endurance gait of
choice.  His foxtrot is too slow.  The only reason I ever tell anyone he's
gaited is that the vets sometimes see him foxtrot and if I didn't tell them in
advance they'd definitely be surprised!!

Thanks,
-Sharon L. & Zephyr the Arab/RMH
