p.s. On of the things I LIKE about the canter over the trot is the
breathing thing, as the horse is "double using" its muscles by using them
for propulsion and for respiration as well. I've always considered this
one of the benefits of the canter over the trot.

I have to agree here with this-seems the best thing to do is
mix up the gaits depending on the terrain and heart rate, amoung
other things.
I think Truman summed it up perfectly once-having a multi-gaited
horse, when he said he picks the SPEED, and he allows the horse to
pick the gait. Or was the word used "negotiate", Truman? <G>
