Tolt is simply the Icelandic word for "rack", so if that's the only gait you're interested in, then many/most Icelandic's don't do it naturally - not of the flashy, show ring style, that is. Most Icelandic's do other soft-gaits and for most of us, those other gaits are wonderful. Those gaits include foxtrot, running walk, saddle-rack (the less flashy version of a rack) and stepping pace. Hi Karen, I know this has probably been discussed several times on this board, but what exactly is "stepping pace"? I know what the flying pace is. Sometimes my horse feels like he is going from a tolt into pace, but I cannot tell for sure. After I get him trimmed again and he is balanced I will try to take a video and put it up for everyone to see what they think, that is if I can figure out how to upload a video.
