>>>> I have been vondering why you use the word tölt in the US because you are not happy with it and already have term(s) that describe the gait and it's variations (talking about icelandics now)?
That's really a good point. I don't think a lot of us would use the word, except that some people have "corrected" us when we use the American/English terms! As crazy as it seems, we've heard people (Americans, Europeans, and Icelanders) deny that these horses do the "other" gaits, like running walk, foxtrot, etc. Karen Thomas, NC [EMAIL PROTECTED]
