I really don't believe that it's a stepping pace either - the timing on the set
down isn't going to be that closely lateral. I also don't think you can draw

i think sensation dealers are very open and honest about what horses
dont do well in them. very heavy riders and horses with very very
prominent withers/spine are not good, with the spine tho you can use a
pad with sims. The dealers are very helpful and honest about it.
