>>I dont know anything about anything technical. I just have an everyday >>experience sorta knowlege of things! Don't be coy, now, Janice. :) I know you have Lee's book, I know you've been on the gaited horse list for ages, and I've seen you at two Liz clinics. What are the components that define gait? I can think of three - maybe there are more. One would be the sequence and pairing that the feet pick up in each phase of the gait. One would be the sequence and pairing of the feet as they touch-down - called the set-down. The other phase would be the number of supporting legs at the different phases of the gaits. Is that enough to define one gait from another? Did I miss anything? Karen Thomas, NC
