Re: Surprise...GAITED!



The more people we talk to, the more the consensus is just that. Gaited
mares will produce gaited bred to non gaited stallion and gaited stallions
bred to non gaited mares might or might now....  I sure am hoping to
rebreed this mare...her filly is awesome.  Anyone know how common or
uncommon gaited 1/2 Arabs are?  I have had some people tell us she is
really worth something... well, duh!!  Except Nelson plans on keeping her
for himself (selfish punk that he is!).  Which makes any monetary value she
might have a moot point!!  :)
