Re: [RC] gaited arabs? - Truman Prevatt

Some walking horses will only trot or gallop at liberty, but gait just fine under saddle.

My expience does not bear this out Ed. My half arab, half MFT uses only a trot, either slow or extended when at liberty, never seen or heard her gait at liberty . When being ridden though, she will use either a trot or gait depending on the speed I'm asking for. The gait didn't come out until she was doing some serious conditioning, in fact I didn't think she was gaited for the longest time. Her uncle, a full blooded arab also uses the trot at liberty but will gait readily for any one when under saddle. Her mother will trot, jig or gait depending on what mood she's in. <G>
