Today I saw an ad for a western pleasure horse that said "is a natural western pleasure horse - will do a 3 or 4 beat lope." WHAT?? Since when is the ability to do a four beat lope considered an asset?
A correct lope is three beats. Horses four-beat to slow their lope down enough that the rider is happy. A four-beat lope is neither good nor natural.
