I am listening to this thread with some discouragement,
because I want another horse like my old horse: Arab with a walk that could
outdistance other horses that trotted and a downhill "scrabble" I guess, that
just flew down hills. He also had a very big trot and would bound across
the terrain.
Could be more common with gaited horses, but it certainly
exists in Arabs. My old guy is 26 and still extremely flexible, oversteps
a foot when he is just ambling along.
If I could find a gaited Arab - now that would be a dream come
true! I met a lady at DVE last year that had one. She really enjoy
the horse - said it was the most comfortable and kind horse she'd
ridden.
Does anybody know of a particular bloodline that produces gaited Arabs,
or is a freak thing?
