>>Keeping both those things in mind, doesn't it stand to reason that if a horse is built to do a certain gait, but doesn't (or is inconsistent) that there is a shoing and/or collection issue?
Please, also keep conformation in mind... if a gaited horse is NOT built with a good "gaiting conformation", he will not gait. The use shoes and weights to "get" a horse to gait ... are training gimmicks. Raven
