Hi Karen, >>>I don't agree with that Judy, at least not as phrased. If you mean that Icelandic Horses are rarely seen in the "signature breed gait of tolt" then yes, I totally agree. But I see a lot of gait in my horses at liberty.
I would agree with you Karen. Especially the foals but also as they are growing. I need to go into the pasture and take some video of our horses going into and out of the grass eating pasture and also the young horses. I would be very interested to see if anyone has photos of horses in tolt/ rack free in the pasture. Would also like to see a photo of a TWH racking without a rider. Karen and Janice you may have seen it?? The question then becomes are Rack/ Tolt as defined mostly human influenced gait??? Just a question well worth looking at, IMO.
