 I AM bothered when vets don't make an effort to understand gaited 
horses--but am not bothered when it takes them a bit longer to mentally 
process a gaited horse for an anomaly, since we just don't see that many of 
them.


I've been riding LD's for a couple of years on a little TWH.  I tell the vet 
"This is  a little gaited horse, but he usually trots in hand."  De. Jen 
usually answers "Pick a gait, any gait, and stay with it."  Others have said 
"As long as he 's the same on all four legs."  At one ride I didn't mention 
his gaitedness and he trotted out, but gaited back.  Mike Foss asked, "A 
Tenenssee Walker?"

It's really not been that much of a problem.
