>>>> As Icelandics are a breed known for tolt, rather than fox trot, I can't see this changing among the thousands who don't read this list.
It depends...maybe if you don't expect the profile of Icelandic owners to change over time. Maybe not for the ones who only know Icelandic's and not other gaited horses...but considering how many potential horse owners actually DO understand that non-tolt gaits exist, that could change easily. Remember, probably approximately 10-20% of all horses in the USA are gaited; maybe a couple of million, and that's a huge potential group of owners...in the USA alone. With major magazines (Equus, Trail Rider, etc.) showcasing more gaited breeds recently, I get a feeling the market for gaited horses in the USA is higher than ever.
