Come on folks! Someone take a shot, please! I've seen them, and I typically comment on the "what gait" pictures, so someone else speak up - pleeease?!!
Come on Karen, I try NEVER to reply on gait photos, newbie that I am to all things gaited. Didn't Wanda say Solon tends to the lateral? So, in these photos, he's diagonal. I can't tell in the snow if he's trotting or fox trotting. There was a discussion on the gaited endurance list recently about encouraging gait by working in loose footing (sand, tilled field). Does snow do the same thing, enhancing gait? It seems, however, that if footing causes a horse to go from lateral to diagonal, then he's probably wired to gait. Frankly, I usually listen to footfalls when I'm riding. There's a musical rhythm to the gaits. Nancy
