Hi Karen, >>>Can you have both - a pure trot and that much knee action? I'm not sure you can.
That is a really good question. I don't really think that many people in any breed dissect the gaits - they look for the action but I doubt they look at the foot fall sequence - pretty interesting. To me his action looks like a combination of natural action, weighted shoes and perhaps elastics to make his knees snappier - what do you think Debbie or anyone else familiar with the use of elastics.
