Yes you are right, but all breeds can do it, it depends on how the horse is trained and how agile it is. Surprising what horses can do it, my riding instructor had a quarter horse, she did a pas de duex with her friend who had an very nice anglo arab and he kept up with the 16 hand anglo no sweat!!! And he was maybe 15 hh, maybe!
