Folks: I (think) some of us have the trot confused with the pace.I doubt most 
of us have ever seen any modern TWH trot.Today's TWH is far more likely to pace 
or stepping-pace than do a running walk,and if he is  pacey,it seems unlikely 
that he would ever do a real trot.Absent the rack,the timing continuum 
is:Trot-Foxtrot-Runningwalk-Steppingpace-Pace,and for one horse to span all 
that without extraordinary traing effort seems unlikely.My MFT has more gaits 
than any horse I've evr ridden,but I believe he has never trotted in his life.I 
may be wrong in all this! Truman,I wish I had your mare,and I sure enjoy 
hearing about her.I wish more folks knew what a good saddle horse is.(notice I 
said saddle horse,not Saddlebred.)

===========================================================Why should I look 
good if I don`t smell good?
