Ha...but that's the thing. Everyone is on a learning curve with this. Nothing to be ashamed of...if you weren't born staring at a gaited horse, where in the world would you pick up this information?? To me when I first got Icelandics and they were smooth...it was a tolt. And then I ended up with a very stiff old boy and I had to determine what he was doing in order to help loosen him up. I can see now that he did a nice little stepping pace and occassionally moved into a fox trot...but at the time I thought it was all pace.. Now I'll send in a pic and ask what the horse is doing and occassionally throw in what I think as well...and I get a good opinion on what it is. That's good information for me... I still want to get a good video of Gusti trotting in order to determine where it is on the gait scale because it sure is smooth. Wanda
