It's sometimes a tolt, sometimes a saddle rack, and more often than not, the 1-2-3 foot gait that is a deviation. So, what are they judging on? Who knows? When you go to evaluations, do you show slow tolt? If so, what are you doing? > But I am not totally sure about what is being > defined as a saddle rack, >>Is the > saddle rack defined and > shown in photos in Lee's book? Yes, it is. The saddle rack is slower than the rack, and it is two-foot / three-foot support. It's more of a pleasure gait, one that you'd use on the trails to have a nice smooth ride. Easy on the horse; easy on the rider. Probably the gait that most people use as an every day gait (unless you're bombing thru the neighborhood like crazy). What gait do you usually use on the trail? Can you get some video? Thanks! Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
