I know that gaited Arabians is common in some lines. My endurance gelding who 
is a purebred will amble or rack from time to time but I have a feeling it is 
something that does just come out from time to time and not too many people 
pay attention to it in Arabians. We know that some lines of Arabians have the 
capability to be gaited but were not bred for that reason like many gaited 
horses were.
