Kat - my TWH mare run-walks - a 4-beat gait...
the only time she paces is at lightening
speeds (after her top-end rack). I can't
run that fast in the trot out!

OTOH, my husband's racking horse does
trot during trot out (trots in the
pasture too, so it is not unnatural to
him).

The vets do have a harder time with my
mare, but I've not had anyone think
she was lame.
