Isn't it amazing that he would be brought in by the USIHC to teach here? I mean, use plain old common sense in watching his horses and riders ride, and anyone can see the unnaturalness of it. BTW, from the comments, you can see that people outside of the breed can easily see how rough he is. So... the USIHC supports manufactured gaits? This is supposed to be (and promoted as) a "natural" horse. Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
