I think your observation of the gait is a good one. But if it is on the diagonal side of the gait chart, wouldn't his diagonals be working more closely together than the laterals? Yes, the pinto is very lateral; stepping pace is a lateral gait. Maybe we should back up some. Let me figure out where to start and we'll bring in some basic info first, including the gait chart.
