I have to agree with the cowboy here. On my old walker my second 
favorite gait was the canter - the favorite being the gallop ;-) . 
However, unlike Ed, the Paso gate would drive me crazy. It felt to me 
like I had sit down on a vibrator. It was smooth but not what I wanted 
to ride for a long way. On the other hand some guys perfer blonds, some 
guys red heads and some will take 'em both.
