	I'm just learning about gaited horses.  I saw a local trainer working 
with a mare who was beautifully put together physicially. Her only fault 
is that she doesn't care about people.  Anyway, she trotted as well as 
gaited in the round pen.  The trainer said that he thinks that TWHs that 
have a good trot tend to have a good gait as well.	
	If she'd been a gelding and a bit more friendly, I'd have been tempted!
