> described as a very fast smooth trot,
It could be a jog, it could be a fox trot, it could be a running walk, or as the owner says, it could be a smooth trot! Do you have any video of what she is doing now? If so, send it to me and we'll take a look at it. If not, ask the seller to get some video for you of what she is doing. > I am looking for advice on how to encourage this horse to tolt. It's helpful to learn about gaited horses in general. Try Lee Ziegler's book: http://tinyurl.com/7vyjo It will also depend on her conformation as to whether she can easily tolt. Try tipping your pelvis back (don't lean back) and take up a little contact (in the amount of a strawberry). If she doesn't tolt, it may not be natural for her.
