I went up above Syracuse with a friend to watch a guy that owns some of them work 4 in hand. They are beautiful critters. Nice post Franco :)

Not a horse guy, but they are amazingly beautiful animals. I saw the Lipenzaner??? Stallion some years back and they were war horses also. Saved by Patton or some such thing. But they were all white.

Notice that the natural gait of most of them is not a trot but a pace which is where the legs on one side move in unison rather than on opposite sides.

That would be single-footing Richard--the most comfortable gait there is:) Tennessee Walkers do it as do many Pacers--my Bay horse does it

My late standardbred horse would rack instead of canter. He was a retired pacer. Once you got used to it it was nice but it was fast.
