It was tolt in most parts, but a very rough tolt, probably not the horse's gait of choice, and probably not his natural gait. Lots of fighting the bit, so either the tack is wrong, too much contact, or the horse just doesn't want or can't be in that forced frame. Doesn't Feldmann have any naturally gaited horses to work with? Watching this is like trying to make a pig sing. Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
