able to discover exactly what is making his trot so comfortable.

Isn't it wonderful that we have these great little digital cameras and sites
like YouTube?  I think isolating what defines a trot versus foxtrot will be
key in eliminating the virtually-three-gaited horses from the breeding pool.
But, we have to be willing to talk about it, and maybe help each other
analyze some videos.  I'm getting excited - I'm hearing more people than
ever willing to talk about Icelandic's doing other comfortable soft gaits
that may not literally be "tolt".  Maybe things ARE starting to change...not
in what the horses are actually doing or are capable of doing, but in what
people will talk about
