It means you have a very talanted horse, and if you want her to be consistant in a gait, you need to learn to be consistant, too. Now, I've heard about some of your lessons with your coach, and I'm not trying to be mean here, but I really don't think that person is the one who is capable of helping you sort out the gaits and figure out how to cue for each one and become consistant in one gait. Does your digital camera have video capabilities? If so, get some videos and upload them to You-Tube. What I suggest is for you to say what you are feeling during each gait, so when we know what the horse is doing and what your body position is doing, you can figure it out. A multi-gaited horse can be very fun and very educational. Oh, do you have Lee Ziegler's "Easy-Gaited Horses"? If not, buy it today!
