Well, I don’t really think it would since that’s what she does when she’s moving around the pasture at liberty. I don’t know what triggers her to move at a gait when under saddle, she just does it. I do know that shoeing can effect gait so I’d try to leave her kind of like she is as much as possible. She’s in an NB shoe on the front and a regular rim-type shoe on the back. She was wanting to be a little trotty in NB shoes all around so the trainer suggested that a longer toe/lower heel in the back and that seemed to take care of it.
Becky’s looking forward to being the talk of the town I think ;~)
I’m headed to a Senior Horse Care seminar tonight... Not sure what they’re going to cover, but it’s free :~D
