I wish it were that easy.. it's a very pleasant looking flat kneed movement. 
Watch fid.. a lot of Arabs have "busy" lopes.. or they use their knees a lot 
(or you'll see bent knees).. ZPB horses are very flat kneed and very quiet 
movement.
 
Yes it's a VERY nice thing.. let me tell you that of the few times I've even 
trotted the kid.. it's been VERY pleasant to ride. :) 
 
She's inherited both the positive sides of Mom's moving and ZPB. :)

Well honestly.. I don't watch for it.. I can feel it.

Yep.. I have to do the kid this coming weekend.. but it should be a snap. 
I've clipped her all over the place except I still haven't done her socks and 
half-socks.. something I really need to start working on.

CJ is NOT happy with them on.. so I keep them off. CJ wants all this show 
stuff and is happier that way. I just ingore the ears except for a small part 
to remind her we do ears.. ;)

I'd HAVE to... can't show like that.

Depends Meg.. just depends.. (nuff said)
