Again, welcome! What do you do with your Icelandics? Do you show, trail
ride or do something else? I'd love to hear more? And we LOVE
pictures...:)

If the breeders can't define either one, how the heck do they know what they
want? And even the USIHC says the tolt is similar
that's the *best* tolt, is the exact four-beat midpoint between trot
and pace, is how i have been given to understand it. but if some tolt is a
little lateral or diagonal, and goes one-two--thre-four, this is just not
quite as perfect a tolt, but still comes under the term. (i had a long

Incorrectly, the Icelanders believe tolt is in the middle. It isn't.
The running walk is the center of the gait spectrum; it is not a tolt. Tolt is
a lateral gait.
Vicka, you are way out of your
I don't know what tölt means in Iceland, but here in Finland (where the
only breed of gaited horses is icelandics) all the soft gaits really are
called tölt, but that doesn't mean they are all considered good tölt.
The only acceptable tölt is clear four-beat, any variations to pacy or
trotty side

Ok, say we accept this premise, that we should use the Icelandic
term tolt to mean all easy gaits. What if someone wants to import an
Icelandic horse and wants to know *exactly* what gaits the horse is
showing, how will we know?
i dont see how you can just go by four clear beats four even
beats etc. I tried for years. For one thing, a hard pace is four
distinct beats if they are going fast and you mistake the two distinct
patterns for one. So is a trot for that matter. I finally found a
pattern in my jaspars stepping
