<< Back in the days when I used to train Standardbreds, we had many a pacer
that
would trot when out for his daily exercise. Not always true, but I soon
began to realize that a SOUND horse was more likely to trot and a hurting
horse pace...the diagonal movment of legs at the trot is evidently a bit
harder to do when there is any pain involved...conversly, a pacing horse is
able to AVOID some pain by pacing.
