We have three PMU horses, one mare and two geldings. One gelding is a Shire and the other two are Shire/Percherons. They actually have really nice gaits. The mare has the flattest gaits, but that's probably because she's the laziest and you really have to get after her if you want more impulsion. She's very wide, so that's the main difference that I've found. Both geldings are very sensitive to your aids and are smooth to ride. They're still fairly green, so I can't say how their canter is yet. I know that generally people think that draft horses aren't very spooky, but that's not the case with these guys. They aren't highstrung, but they spook like a regular horse.
