I see that too Krisse, so I cant wait to hear the answer. He has always been very pacey, and a sign of pace when i look at a picture is feet on one side all moving in the same direction, which is the case here, BUT, a sign of foxtrot to me, something i always see is that the front legs appear to be very extended and walking while the back feet seem very hoppy and prancey. which he is doing. so again, i cant wait to hear the answer :) I can tell a stepping pace from the saddle cause the movement is side to side... but seeing it is hard to tell. and I can tell a trot usually cause the legs on one side form a V.... thats how I tell :) not very scientific haha Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
