Hi Karen >>>> Wait,, this is starting to sound like the emperor's new clothes!! : ))
>>>I'm sorry, Robyn, but I found that rather naive, and snitty. If you don't want to study the gaits, fine, but please have a little respect for those of us who are trying to learn. Sorry you took offense - I was trying to make a bit of a joke which is why I put the smiles behind it - I thought Susan might explain. I totally agree that the Icelandics have a huge range of gait and have recognized it for the past 25 years or so. I find that lots of Icelandics, and other gaited breeds I have written, will have slight changes in gait as the seat of the rider or terrain etc changes. I feel like I have been trying to take part in this discussion and apologize to anyone who felt that I was being snitty and disrespectful as there was no intent.
