She is encouraging it, as she is happy that she has that and not just
a trot....she figures if he continues to do what he can naturally do
he will eventually tolt well. He has given her mommments of tolt,
but then breaks back into a foxtrot, or trot. She is letting him
decide, and hoping that his tolt, once in better condition, will
shine through.
