>>>> ---------------That's exactly what I do. I use the words "lateral gait" or "diagonal gait". If it's clear what they are doing, I try to use the correct terminology, but sometimes it's hard to make that distinction.
Exactly. We've all been there, confused about gaits in general or about a particular horse. I certainly can't fault anyone for being in that state. That's way different from denying the gaits exist though! I sure don't want to discourage anyone who's not very far along with gait study to ask questions simply because they are not sure of the right term. Karen Thomas, NC
