gaited horse question

["Susan Wry" <susan.wry@exactimaging.com>]

We have had one of our mares for five years (Silky) and I can get the
running walk when I ask or if she feels like it. Our other mare Lucy, only
does it when in a hurry, we have had her since August and are still getting
to know each other. On Silk I collect her and lean back a little and she
goes in, Lucy seems to have 2 speeds walk and warp speed!. We know just a
little about our TWH's, are we doing it right?. I feel like I'm learning to
walk and chew gum all other again!. What gait do you use the most on your
rides?.
