Hi Lori...welcome to the list! Where are you located? I'm in western WI. >>Are all Icelandics gaited
Some are 3 gaited (walk, trot, canter), some 4 and some 5 gaited. >> Do they need to be shod to tolt? Tolt is NOT in a shoe or weighted boot. My Ice Pony Huginn is barefoot. His gait of choice is trot....but he does have a nice tolt. In fact....better barefoot than when I boot him with Easy Care Epics. >> what do I need to look for (the potential of a good tolt) Tolting out in the field. <;o] Raven Lucy & Molly, the Girl Doggies Huginn & Dixie Chick, the Back Behind the Barn Ponies Maggie Rose, the cat who makes me sneeze I ride an Ice Pony because heart is not measured in hands. http://www.myspace.com/iceponygoddess Respect ALL Earthlings.
