>>> What exactly is a slow tolt? Does it have a definition? Is it a two-foot / three-foot support gait? or a one-foot / two-foot support gait? Or is one-foot / two-foot / three-foot support allowed as some of the horses were doing?
Judy is it my imagination, or did the slow tolts shown this year look noticeably different from what we've seen just within the past couple of years? More exaggerated than ever...? >>> Some of those tolts look pretty bone-jarring, as can be seen in the rider's bodies. It seemed particularly noticeable to me in the slow tolt section. Is it just me, or have the slow tolts begun to morph towards paso fino? (The gait, not the breed.) Not all the way to what the Paso Fino's (breed) are expected to show, but getting closer? I always found that paso fino gait to be annoying - sort of much ado over nothing, and going nowhere. What possible reason is their to show knee action in a slow-ish soft gait? I'm still considering buying that video. Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
