     im going to be using a standardbred mare that DOES NOT trot.  She only 
     paces.   Is that going to be an issue for my vetting?  Or is pacing ok?  I 
     dont want to find out that its going to be an issue.. thats why i ask this 
     now before i put the miles into her.  Thanks so much:) >>
    
    
    It shouldn't be a problem...but make sure you get the right vet!  LOL  I ride 
    a Standardbred and at one ride she got straight A's all through - except for 
    one vet at the midway point who said she looked "a little odd" at the trot.  
    Several people tried to point out that she was a Standardbred and so her trot 
    was very different from the 100 or so Arabs he had been watching all day.  
    (Mine is a trotter, not a pacer, but the gait is still pretty radically 
    different.)  He stuck by his guns, and gave her a B.  At the next VC, I asked 
    a different Vet to watch her carefully to make sure she was okay.  LOLOLOL  
    He used to work at a track.  Took one look at her, smiled, and gave her an 
    A+.  Said "Ain't a thing wrong with that trot!"  So you never know.  It 
    SHOULD be okay, but being "different" can have its drawbacks!  Good luck!  Go 
    Standardbreds!!!
