Re: [RC] Gaited horses 'artificial' gaits - A. Perez"but I would question the accuracy of an author who lists all the soft and lateral gaits as "artificial" What a hoot! My unregistered TWH/Racking gelding was trained by a non-gaited horse trainer (fprmer arab trainer) as a pleasure horses, never had any special trimming, shoeing, devises or training. At liberty he trots, paces, running-walks, caters, cross-canters (does that under saddle too, unfortunately), and some undefineable variations on all of the above... and changes effortlessly from one to the other minute-by-minute sometimes! Sometimes I think he is trying to be a one-horse illustration of all gaits known to man and equine! All this is entirely un- taught, on his own. Hardly 'artificial'!
