I owned two Quarter Horses (a TX mare and a stallion) and a mustang mare 
that single-footed.  They were a joy to ride.  In fact, the stallion, BC, 
was a sweet heart as well and is who we put visitors from the city on that 
had never ridden a horse in their lives.  Of course, it didn't heart that he 
was totally voice trained and I could stand and holler directions at him 
because the greenhorns had made a total mess of things when they "told" him 
to do two things at once <g>
