I think that pacey horses can have a harder time trying to get the nice little canter. If they find a little four-beat rolling gait that suffices for the canter, that can be really nice. Do you find that the three-gaited Icelandics have as much problem with a nice slow canter? Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
