Hi Mic >>>Most of my Icelandic friends would expect to see at least some tolt on the ground, and would worry if a horse only ever showed trot as a foal. Likewise if a foal only showed hard pace....
That is my experience as well - looking at foals at 10 days - 2 weeks? Is usually what kind of gait you will see when they are trained because their choice of gait changes as they grow.
