I guess you'd need to know your horse. On the other hand, what about those "forward" horses that are only forward because they are trying to escape the pain of a pinching saddle? My horses are generally lazy and pokey when they are relaxed, and then will step pace. And in dogs, pace is a gait of being tired, so there is another monkey in the pot!
