From what I've seen of Standie's Pace it could well be trained to become a flying Pace, like Iceys have, and that my friend is an experience you do NOT want to miss out on.I've only owned 2 that would do it, but they do exist. Slow gait up to a trail rack, trail rack into a speed rack, speed rack into a flying pace with no noticeable change in gear selection other than speed. Most will go to the hard pace unfortunately. But yeah, that flying pace is a blast to ride! Oooh I would never dare to speed rack into a flying pace!  It could so easily ruin that speed rack u've been working so hard to establish. With Icelandics we always take the flying pace from a canter, which is the gait safest from detrimental influence from the pace. It is a blaaast though isn't it? Nothing quite like itto1

At flying pace the lift up front is very high, making the beat tend to 4-beat actually, and the horse is 'airborne' for longer between touchdowns. The hard pace tends more to the ground.

A good friend of mines little girl has been riding one on loan, and we just went and picked another one up for a friends grandson ..... cost=$150. These are easy gaited ponies with a great attitude, I don't know what more you could ask for? My goodness, there are very few horses in this world worth $500k, and I'm guessing a gaited pony aint one of them.

I prefer to work them down from the canter. The horses that I've owned who go easily from the speed rack to the flying pace never cared to pace until asked for the extra speed. They were happy to rack until asked for more.

Dead Serious, When I first got her (Only paid $1,500. lady was a idiot) with in probably the first six months she was assesed at about $100k - $150k. She's top mare for the breed and Breed Ambassador for the Association, has tons of training in many different disciplins, championships, has many World Champions in her predigree. She's an EXTREAMLY rare breed , less than 100 in United States, less than about 200-300 world wide. Also has three international TV series contracts for upcoming series, Movie Contracts and Printwork Contracts, Endorcements etc. I was told that was a "Conservative Estimate". Sunny isn't just a "Gaited Pony". That kind of price isn't unheard of at all really, I know of many Freisian Stallions that sell for about $200k - $250k and there is WAY more of them, thousends... My friend Jake has a American Saddlebred Stallion that's retired now,but at his top assessment was valued at about $750k . While we're in the world of talking about Racing Breeds, There are Througbreds that just because of shear luck alone (all forms of gambling are) have been valued at or around $1-million dollars. Just because they won "big races" with the big pay-outs. But anyone that knows anything about racing knows that's something that a horse can't do "consistantly" is win races. The odds are there, and how many Throughbreds are in exsistance? Talk about "Dime a Dozen". I see people on Craigs List all the time that can't even give those overly indiscriminately bred animals away. Speaking of Throughbreds, I know of many that were sold at well over $20million I think toping out so far from what I've read etc at about $69 Million.

Well, I see that the Walking Pony has been around since 1968, but that's about it.
