At this point think I would prefer that my horses do a foxtrot or running walk, something smooth, but not so hard on them, of course it all depends on what seems natural for them, each one of mine seems to have slightly different gaits on the ground and is built differently. I also want them to do what is easiest for them to do. I want to ride a relaxed trail horse, one that is having fun with me, even if that means trot for a couple of them. Kim
