>>> Its so interesting about breeding a Stallion that really is gait challenged....Did Flekkur Tolt?
I don't know, but I think I heard that he was (is?) pretty much three-gaited. His son, Reddi, is three-gaited, but Flekka and Trausti (grandchildren) are VERY naturally gaited. Gaiting is easy for them, and they have a wide range of gaits at their disposal. But, as always, there are all the ancestors to consider, not just one sire or grandsire. I would never breed a gait-challenged horse, but some of them make wonderful riding horses. Well, maybe NEVER is too strong, but it would have to be a darned special horse, and I'd have to have a very specific reason to breed the horse. All of my breeding horses now have nice, strong, natural gaits. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
