Hi Janice, >>>is my stonewall unusual then? I mean he ALWAYS trots in the field.
I don't think so. I rarely see Segull gait in the pasture but that is his first choice generally under saddle or when driving. Bragur is the only stallion that I see gait a lot in the pasture and then it is generally on the pacey side. That's why I think that maybe when the trot is considered important the breeding goals may be more challenging - to get the balance. What do others think?
