Lynn, I think you mentioned the other day about the Paso gaits and their concentration on good timing (purity of gaits), as opposed to speed. I think that's something that could be brought into the Icelandic Horse world. I think speed possibly deteriorates the gaits. Maybe "deteriorate" isn't the right word? Opinions? Judy
