> Are the terms 4-gaited and 5-gaited the right way to describe Icelandic > Horses?
>>>No, I think multi-gaited would be more accurate, especially since some >>>are capable of 6 or more gaits! That's what I think, also. Plus, there are three-gaited Icelandics, and we need an acceptable category for them. A lot of times the breeders, judges, sellers, clinicians, and trainers do not know how to identify gait. It seems that if an Icelandic paces as a youngster, he's called a natural tolter. This incorrect info gets perpetuated by newer owners and breeders. Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
