That was my thought, if a horse was fine going into training...and then something happened during that time, I would begin to question the type of training used. Too much too soon? Anyway, if you're looking for a naturally gaited horse, you want to buy a horse that gaits without 25 lbs of pressure on the reins. You want to see him/her very relaxed while they're gaiting... You want to buy a horse that's barefoot, then you know that the horse you're buying has not been 'balanced' by some inventive farrier. Some farms shoe for protection, but I know a few shoe to improve gait. How many times have we heard that a horse doesn't tolt after he has his shoes removed?
