Back to Stella with her natural gait: http://iceryder.net/gaitstella.html She's ridden bareback and in halter, on a loose rein, barefoot, so this is her natural gait. Can we *make* her tolt? Can we *train* her to tolt? Probably. Would it be OK with her? I mean, physically, mentally? Maybe. Maybe not. We'd have to see. What's so wrong with her natural gait that we'd have to make her do something else? Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
