Sunny, I am sorry that you feel we are bashing TWH. The only TWH I know is a cool cool horse. He is the ugliest yellow horse in the world(ask his owner LOL) but his attitude and temperament makes him one of the most beautiful horses in the world. | Exactly. People who have a lack of knowledge of the gaiting industry and saddlebreds/TWHs are likely to group the breeds together, and people like you who have a lack of knowledge of the dressage/jumping and WB breeds are likely to group them together. There is a difference, especially with the origins of each breed. SWBs and DWBs are probably about as similar to me as TWH and saddlebreds are to you. | |

| No, not right.
Actually, from the start, pretty much all horses were gaited ( just as a sidenote, lots of animals are 'gaited', dogs, giraffes etc) but man bred the gait out of a lot of them as it wasn't wanted at some points.
Look at icelandics, they're a natural breed and has been for ages, they're gaited. Bashkir can be gaited and as far as I know there is about 8-10 different gaited breeds in the world. I don't know all of them but I know that most of them are ''natural'' breeds and ponies rather than the more slender/noble riding horses that TWH, Saddlebred or warmbloods and quarters are. It's breeds that's not bred for shows, but for work, and I suppose breeds that just didn't have a reason to remove the gait from.
Actually, in pretty much all of the more natural breeds (those reminding of th historical horses before man interfered the most) there occasionally come a gaited individual still, even tho they're not bred for anything other than the regular gaits. | |

Then we could discuss how humans interfere with the gait and try to ''make it better''..but that's another story and that goes for pretty much everything and all gaits in the horseworld, doesn't it? Quote:
