Hi Karen, >>>I know there were some known misprints in the book, and I guess this is one. I think those illustrations are step-pace. If it were hard pace, the lateral pairs would be more parallel in all the phases.
I would really like to see photos showing a gait and also have comments from the people who are riding the horses in the photos. Sometimes you can really see that a horse is in a hard pace and looks uncomfortable to the rider but I have also seen horses that were pretty pacey and one will be comfortable for the rider and another not. I would say that photos alone give you only part of the picture so to speak. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
