I especially want to thank Truman for his description of Misty's gaits! I
have a gaited grade horse that never knows what he should do in the trot.
When I ride with a friend who's conditioning her Arab for endurance, Felix
will pick up a nice running walk (6-8 mph), but if I'm riding solo (80% of
the time) he forgets how to do it. He is most comfortable in a canter (as
am I) & luckily we live in East Tennessee so lots of terrain changes.
Just a note to the entire group, I've been on the digest version for about
a year & have loved so much! The thread on ride preparation already has
been very helpful. Thanks to all the experienced riders for helping out
those of us who don't even know the questions to ask.
