I would not bank on that one.  My paso has as perfect a four-beat gait 
as can be asked for.  He even got into a David Litchman video on 
gaiting, because of his "perfect" gait without collection.  Last winter 
I had all of his shoes off, so I put ez-boots on the front for a ride 
on gravel roads.  They caused him to PACE; A gait he had NEVER done 
before.

Also, I would recommend using duct tape around the top of the ez-boot 
to keep it on, but stay away from his hair.
