I JUST READ AN ARTICLE LAST WEEK, ABOUT THE CELEBRATION. IT ALSO EXPLAINED THE GAIT TOO. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE GAIT THESE HORSES DO, WAS WALK WITH THEIR FRONT FEET AND TROT WITH THEIR BACK. FROM THE SOUND OF IT, IT WOULDNT BE VERY SMOOTH THOUGH. I DO LIKE HOW, AT THEIR SHOWS, THEY DONT DISPLAY VERY MUCH KNEE ACTION, OR ARE NOT PERMITTED TO HAVE CHAINS OR HEAVY SHOES ON. PLUS THEIR TAIL IS NATURAL. THE TWHBEA NEEDS TO LEARN A FEW THINGS FROM THE MFTHBA ABOUT KEEPING THE GAIT AND HORSE NATURAL AND NOT "CREATED"! (PADDED BIG LICKS AND THOSE WITH HEAVY PLANTATION SHOES THAT IS)
