its not an icelandic thing its a gaited horse thing. not all gaited horses gait. some gaited horses will gait great and then sold never gait again, which is an indication of saddlefit/rider complications. Some rackers walk, some walkers rack, some foxtrotters rack, some walkers foxtrot, some iceys tolt, some foxtrot, rack, runningwalk whatever, all mine I have ever had or seen canter, at liberty, everywhere. The only reason people try to say a particular breed will only do the signature gait of that breed is because they are either showers or trying to make money selling or breeding etc. All gaited horses can do a particular easy gait and it isnt necessarily the signature gait of that particular breed. But some gaited horses never do any easy gait. for whatever reason. Its a mystery. janice -- yipie tie yie yo
