I have 2 questions.... 1- can a racking horse also pull a 2-person surkey or cart? 2- If a shipped semen (atificial insemination) is used, what is the chance that the produce will be rackers also? You can also reply to eaaindians@aol.com Thanks..ed
if you look on the side of the road there is usually alot of "junk" in the grass. im saying that having that horse on the road was a good idea because of the fact that there could be glass shards and metal pieces in the grass that the horse could step on. i also know that the rider knows what they are doing and could see better than me what was in front of the horse and where the horse was gonna step. if i have offended you let me know because that was not my intention.
at least that guy is not running the horse on a hard top , he is trying to stay on grass. I do not approve of this use of this poor horse but at least that guy is not a total jerk
just a little FYI. my friends show Kentucky Mountain horses. and the rules say that all horses have to be shod if they are to enter the show ring. that horse was shown so im sure that it had shoes on.
what i mean is. if its the same horse the whole way thru the vid then it might have shoes on when its on the road. now. the way i came up with that is that for most shows your horse has to be shod. other wise it cant compete. so unless this not recorded during show season that horse has shoes on. and to the fact that the horse was in the "grass" there could be debris in the grass such as glass bottles and such. and i mean no disrespect to you or what you beleive when i say this.
Look's like a "Rowdy" Horse to me.I knew Rowdy& Johney D.There ain't no mistakin that lick,that's a By-God "Rowdy" Horse.Standard Bred,Saddlebred,Paso-Fino??? 4 beat gait? Single Footer???Ain't nobody really care's,Sit your ass on a true Rowdy horse,It's like a no beat gait.
Music matched the horse and rider.Looked good and sounded good together.Sent chills and heart thrills!!!Keep him healthy.Hopes he sires many more like him.Would love to see him riding down my country road on my farm!My son said he'd give his eye-teeth to ride that horse.Good luck!
I have a TWH that paces. I read the other comments and this horse is not pacing. Im not a expert on racking or the racking gait but he appears to do what i learned was a stepping pace(one foot lands slightly before the other one)and one foot on ground at all times (4 beat). My horse has both feet at same time on same side, compared to this horse mine is like riding a jack hammer. This is a wonderful horse no matter the bloodlines, i would be proud to own a horse like this. He is spectacular
i agree with racking major YOU CANT RIDE PAPERS i have an arabian/saddlebred/ TWH and he has a nice little rack no speed but he isnt built for it he can go long distances no problum i like my crossed up horses who needs papers unless your strictly breeding

twhrackon IS A JEALOUS GUY THAT HORSE IS WORKING HIS ASS OFF, I HAVE A HALF BREED TOO AND SOME OF THEM ARE SMOOTHER THAN MOST TWH MY HALFBREED ISN"T AS FAST AS ROCKET BUT HE IS SMOOTH AND ONLY TWO YRS OLD I LOVE ROCKET AND WISH I COULD BREED MY FILLY TOO HIM GREAT VIDEO AND KEEP UP THE SPEED
i have a pacer/ Tennessee walker and he is hitting 40mph all day long He just turned two and a half and hes going to be even faster when he gets older having crossbred horses is just fine thats how you create the perfect horse he saddles so smooth and thats the tennessee walker but the speed comes from the pacer blood its a perfect match and i have the the perfect stud vid will be coming soon
I have read every comment on this horse and everyone who gets a racking horse that can rack 12 mph thinks there flying and don't see many horses that do 20+ truly sqaure. You got 4 or 5 different breeds everyone is talking about here. And these fast horses are mostly half breeds. Is this horse paper in any bloodline. I think he does a good job from 10 to 20 mph, he's like every other horse he has his flaws,itjust depends on what your looking for let'sgotothe bell farm and ride 40 milesfor 5days
This horse is clearly a really fast horse. If you don't think that racking 20mph is fast, then I would like to know just what exactly is fast to you. Personally, I have yet to see a horse that's faster than 27mph. This horse is single-footing at 24mph and that's plenty fast. And please don't bash a horse just b/c he's crossbred. Sure, he may be crossbred, but all horses are crossbred somewhere down the line. A good horse is a good horse no matter the breed.
Great video, awesome horse. I don't think I've ever commented on it but I've sure watched it enough times :) I hope you all will have him at the trail ride in AL in March.
Hey, I enjoyed this video and love the horse. I read through all the comments (yes, I have no life! ^_^) and I CANNOT believe that people are insulting each other and arguing about this. It's so childish. Why can't people just grow up? If I receive any 'thumbs downs' or comments insulting me I should like to know why. I am simply speaking my mind and I'm not directing this at anyone in particular.
Do you have anymore videoes of Rowdy that you can put on here? We need more,A horse show would be nice. Beautiful stallion, looks like the ride is as smooth, and fast as it gets.
What a wonderful Stallion. As fast as he is, looks his gait very natural and easy.
I wish I could breed a baby, with him and our standardbred mare. Unfortunately, we live too far away. In Germany. Perhaps you offer frozen semen somedays.
This horse looks relaxed and natural,even at such speed, and his gait ( whatever it is he's doing!) is consistant and smooth... all nitpicking aside ( from past posts) this is a lovely horse!
Something must be very wrong with that horse.. The front legs doesnt look normal at all. it looks like this horse is toelting or something? A islandic horse dosnt have legs like this.. So why does gaited horse?
Sadly, all the new comments made are still ridiculously childish and ascinine. You're all bashing each other over the price of a stud fee, poor spelling, and whether this horse beat another one in a show or vice versa? Good grief!
Don't you know that a rack is the same thing as a single-foot. Just what you described him doing, one foot on the ground! A True Rack has a 4 evenly timed foot fall, which is exactly what he's doing. Why you giving your two cents if it doesn't matter? No bashing, just tired of seeing all the rude comments from speedracking posted every where. She's an idiot just like you!!!
Jamie, you are the epitome of what I was talking about..rude commenting. I am not an idiot, but by your response, you are just "the pot calling the kettle black". A rack is NOT the same as a single foot, and I said he was doing a flying pace in the 1st place! Calling anyone an idiot is out-of-line. You're not worth the effort for me to come in here again.
DeeDee, if you look up single-foot in the dictionary it says this, rack: a rapid gait of a horse in which each foot strikes the ground separately
go at a rack; "the horses single-footed" The flying pace is just that a pace. If you will look at the foot fall and slow down the video frame by frame, you will see that the legs are not in the same motion as that of a flying pace.
No offence to this horse but he is mostly all STANDARDBRED, nothing wrong with that. This horse has never bet me. A croooked judge placed hin in front of after the rider walked all over my horse and tried to cripple her, and almost knocked me off. I sure you have that part of the video don't you? The crowd seen what happen booed him out of a ring you can hear the booing over the mucic! He is a nice horse and no shame is saying what your blood lines. Please keep to the facts.
Speedracking, you just jealous because your horses aren't even in the same class as Rocket. I'm sure the boos was for you, have you not got the picture? Look at all the good comments that people have left for this horse and then view the comments on yours. Stupid is as stupid does and you sure like to show the whole world how dumb and ignorant you are by posting jealous comments on everyones video
Jealous of WHAT? I'm the one who has over 100 blues hanging in my barn. I even beat this horse with my 4 Jr. Stallion, but that don't make the horse any less. As far as the booing that was his victory pass and he was the only horse in there. I said the horse was nice. It's just sad you all bash a Standardbred when all the sp horses on this this board are stb or msot all stb. Don't be ashame to say you horse is stb. Don't bash blood lines until you look and what runs through thous vines.
I mean no offence to this horse saying he is not a Standardbred does not make it so. You should be proud he is mostly all Stb. because they have some of the oldest and best blood lines there are. Good luck with your horse.
I've seen your advertisments for your stud, breed to the best for less! No one wants to be known for the cheapest stud fee, only for the best horse and if he's the best why you charge so little, maybe because you have to beg everyone to breed to him and give them that low budget incentive. Looks to me like the best horse around could name his price. Get over it, you paid for a judge's decision and the judge didn't like your horse!
Jamie I have no ideal what you are talking about, and you don't either. I was told to check this video out because of the bashing of a standardbred. You should really look at your self in a mirror. I really don't care what you say about my horses their winning records speak for their self. Now grow up.
You do have a sentence that says, "Why breed for less when you can breed to the best for less" on one of your stud's pictures. You grow up and keep your jealous comments to your self. The video proves that he beat you! Taken from one of your previous comments "This horse has never bet me" and get you a dictionary so you can learn how to spell!!!
Iam a speed racking fool,and let me tell you one thing this is one of the best son of a b---hes,,,ive ever seen...And if any one dont think so is crazier than a bat...GO ''ROWDY'' AND ''ONE RANK STRANGER''
The video was put up to watchand enjoy because I liked the horse.Not to Banter over.If you dont like the horse then dont Watch it, you know here the door is.If you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything. The rude comments are going to be deleted and you will be blocked. AS for the stills at the end of the video,You must look at them Dee because he only has ONE FOOT ON THE GROUND.A pace is when 2 feet touch the ground at the same time.
I will watch it again to make sure. I have watched it several times, and he appears to be doing a pace, but then I could be mistaken. I DO know the difference between a pace and a rack, and yes, a pace is a lateral 2-beat gait, while a rack is a 4-beat gait. I have had NSH's (bred them) and attended many ASB shows, so I do understand the footfalls of the rack. I really don't think it matters that much, actually. As you said, TNT, the video was posted for people to enjoy.
I did watch it again, actually again TWICE. While he appears to have only one foot actually touching the ground, because both legs on the same side (laterally) are moving in unison, he is NOT racking. He technically is doing a "flying pace", very similar to what the Icelandics do. A true RACK has 4 distinct beats.
Yes, the still photos at the end clearly show him doing a pace, but that is a bit irrelevant to what I'm saying. He's NOT racking, and my original point is that there is no need for rudeness and name-calling, such as the reference to being ignorant and "above the fourth grade" education. There's a place and a need for all breeds. I've seen a program about OTT SB's and how well they did in other disciplines. Just not the need to bash other horses to get that point across, is there?
I never said that SB's only "pace and rack". Quite the contrary! I said they are BRED to trot or pace. Please read my post correctly before you argue with it. Again a pace and trot are 2-beat gaits, and a rack is a 4-beat gait. I don't have a clue about the bloodlines of the horse in the video, and it doesn't matter, since he's not racking in the first place.
"Pace", is it possible for you to comment without being nasty and rude? You miss the point. A rack is a 4-beat gait, and SB's are bred to TROT or pace, both of which are 2-beat gaits. The horse in the above video is doing a single-foot.
Kristen, Standardbreds are not gaited. They either trot or pace, and they're bred to pull sulkies. You're a bit confused there. A pace and a rack are completely different and NO standardbred will do a rack.
What an ignorant person!!. TWO standardbreds are qualifyed for the coming Olympics for jumping and dressage ( ex race horses no less) Also Standardbreds have set jumping records for clearing 7 feet, and Two are currently kicking butt in England in eventing. My Standardbred has competed at Grand Prix dressage, and most judges think he is a Warmblood LOL
Oh, by the way , these days UNLESS you have a Standie you cannot win speed racking. Check out 'Skips Fancy Pants video's and Stroker. FULL standies whom have been shown with no shoes behind and everyone is jealous of, because they never could touch them.
yes, they can and do rack, but certainly MOST standardbreds can only trot or pace. I have a standardbred--bred to pace, but very seldom does. She has a huge trot that's faster than a hand gallop! :)
I think the comments about Lipazanners and TB's (their hearts don't "explode"!) are flat out an attempt to distract from the blatant abuse done to the TWH in the show ring. No horse moves like that naturally without having been sored.
the four beat never turns into a two beat with this horse that is where u are wrong. You hate it that some good ole boys got better horses than you and cannot believe that they rack at speed and maintain a fourbeat gait. It is unheard of in your little world of horses. Read about the breed, understand the difference between a singlefoot and a pace and you will discover some things.....
Rocket is a great horse, but he go into a stepping pace at high speeds which is very smooth(this is not a true rack)but still very smooth.Check out this website that shows stepping pacing horses like rocket.
A steppingpace is acceptable for speedracking IMO. Your horses do a full-blown pace. He looks pretty even to me and smoother than your horses will ever be.
Very Nice horse! There are a handfull of horses that does'nt require weight to make them rack at speeds this horse is racking. I'm sure all the people that commented on your horse is realy jealous because theirs paces. They only dream of having one of this calliber. Paceyourheartout, this horse did not cross over into a pace, that's BS. Slow down the video and see for yourself. Do you not know your gaits?
this horse isn't pacing, it has the head sway of a rack, he's to smooth to be pacing, he's just going like a bat out of hell LOL and you can't see that back foot hitting the ground a fraction of a second before the front, look at the still pics, he has one foot on the ground!
I tell ya what- thing horse is awesome. I'd take it over those other two. Just look how smoooth he is. There is no comparison in my book. Great looking horse- and keep beating the trolls at the shows hahaha :)
Racking is not pacing. In pacing, the same legs on one side move in unison. In a true rack, each foot moves individually. Racking and pacing are two completely different things. Besides that. A rack is a LOT smoother than a pace.
I agree with your comment on how racking is different than pacing, but not on the smoother part. When you have a good sandardbred pacing, they are smooth as silk.
I have ridden a suposedly "good" standardbred horse and it was pacing and it was rougher than a cob, so to speak. The only "good" standardbred are those that rack IMO.
Ugh, I hate it when ny standardbred mare gets excited and paces several strides....it's bumpy and side to side. I'll take posting to her huge trot any day over the pace!
gravedigger, i have watched both a video on your boy and this boy and it is true that they are very similar. And, speedracker, for your information, this horse is not pacing. He's doing a very good looking rack. And riding horses on a paved road is not too hard on their feet and legs. In the english world, it actually helps STRENGTHEN their legs.
WOW! I just ran across this site while doing a web search and I see my video posted here. Thanks for all the comments...we love this horse! Hey, TNTyorkies, do I know you????
No , You dont but I would like to get to know you guys, Im just an admirer of racking horses. Hopefully soon I will get to join the Shoba. Let me know when your down around Cave Run Lake again, That is where im at and ride at. I am seriously thinking about breeding my mares to your horse.
Hey, just give us a call or email anytime. We love to talk horses. Is Cave Run Lake in KY? I don't know the distance but we'll be at East Fork and South Fork in Tennessee this spring. You should come ride with us!
Hes not my horse either, but I'm a big fan of geat racking horses and love this horse. He is Rowdy Rawhides Rocket, belongs to Blue Ridge Single-Footers, Stan & Sonnie Hardy
Actually, Susie, I'm not the owner of this horse. I'm just tired of seeing you put everybody's horses down. You spend an awful lot of time on the internet posting negative comments about some really nice horses. And I think it's disgraceful. And, I've just figured out why this video must be so offensive to you. Looks like this horse beat you at that show in Asheville.
Rufus-your ARE a dufus, this horse does start of racking, but then proceeds to do a full blown pace! Do you NOT know your gaits?? Awesome none the less, but still pacing
Speedracking you must be crazy! I think you have a personal problem against Rowdy horses. You never have anything good to say about them. This horse is an amazing animal!
I think you have a very nice horse. He is alot like my boy. Actually had someone who knows this horse very well come to florida to see my boy and he said they are very similiar. I really like your boy. If people paid attention and knew what they were looking at they could see that in all your pictures there is one foot on the ground at a time. That is a singlefooter or racking horse. Good luck with your boy he is real nice.
The singlefoot is nothing, but another word for squared up stepping pace, and the horse doing a nice stepping pacing, but he or she gets strung out some and not kept square. He or she tends to show a lot of pace at the faster gaits. The pictures even show two feet back and two feet foreward. Too bad with proper training the horse could of been a good show horse. I world not ride my horses at a paved road that is too hard on the horses legs and feet and can cause road founder.
Susie, you must be crazy. You never have anything good to say about this horse or the Rowdy bred horses. Must be a personal problem. Look how smooth he is. If you'll notice the guy is riding him in a bareback pad. I'd like to see you ride your horses in a bareback pad. I doubt you'd be brave enough since you're bouncing 6 inches out of the saddle on your mounts.
rufus I like you you speak your mind and it is the truth. Suzie has fast horses I will never take that from her and she loves them to death but they are deffinatley not for everyone. I like a smooth racking horse that is truelly racking like Rocket and Digger. There are not to many that can do this. I just don't understand why she puts all these horses down. Never have been able to figure that out.
Susie, you never have anything good to say about this horse or the Rowdy bred horses. Must be a personal problem. If you'll look closer the guy is riding him with a bareback pad. I'd like to see you ride your horses with a bareback pad. I doubt you'd be brave enough since you bounce 6 inches out of the saddle on your rough riding horses. Look how smooth he is! I've never seen a pacing horse that looked that smooth!He is an amazing stallion.

Sadly, all the new comments made are still ridiculously childish and ascinine. You're all bashing each other over the price of a stud fee, poor spelling, and whether this horse beat another one in a show or vice versa? Good grief!
DeeDee10x10 4 years ago
Don't you know that a rack is the same thing as a single-foot. Just what you described him doing, one foot on the ground! A True Rack has a 4 evenly timed foot fall, which is exactly what he's doing. Why you giving your two cents if it doesn't matter? No bashing, just tired of seeing all the rude comments from speedracking posted every where. She's an idiot just like you!!!
jamietreehoop 4 years ago
Jamie, you are the epitome of what I was talking about..rude commenting. I am not an idiot, but by your response, you are just "the pot calling the kettle black". A rack is NOT the same as a single foot, and I said he was doing a flying pace in the 1st place! Calling anyone an idiot is out-of-line. You're not worth the effort for me to come in here again.
DeeDee10x10 4 years ago
DeeDee, if you look up single-foot in the dictionary it says this, rack: a rapid gait of a horse in which each foot strikes the ground separately
go at a rack; "the horses single-footed" The flying pace is just that a pace. If you will look at the foot fall and slow down the video frame by frame, you will see that the legs are not in the same motion as that of a flying pace.

No offence to this horse but he is mostly all STANDARDBRED, nothing wrong with that. This horse has never bet me. A croooked judge placed hin in front of after the rider walked all over my horse and tried to cripple her, and almost knocked me off. I sure you have that part of the video don't you? The crowd seen what happen booed him out of a ring you can hear the booing over the mucic! He is a nice horse and no shame is saying what your blood lines. Please keep to the facts.

Speedracking, you just jealous because your horses aren't even in the same class as Rocket. I'm sure the boos was for you, have you not got the picture? Look at all the good comments that people have left for this horse and then view the comments on yours. Stupid is as stupid does and you sure like to show the whole world how dumb and ignorant you are by posting jealous comments on everyones video
jamietreehoop 4 years ago
Jealous of WHAT? I'm the one who has over 100 blues hanging in my barn. I even beat this horse with my 4 Jr. Stallion, but that don't make the horse any less. As far as the booing that was his victory pass and he was the only horse in there. I said the horse was nice. It's just sad you all bash a Standardbred when all the sp horses on this this board are stb or msot all stb. Don't be ashame to say you horse is stb. Don't bash blood lines until you look and what runs through thous vines.
speedracking 4 years ago
I mean no offence to this horse saying he is not a Standardbred does not make it so. You should be proud he is mostly all Stb. because they have some of the oldest and best blood lines there are. Good luck with your horse.
speedracking 4 years ago
I've seen your advertisments for your stud, breed to the best for less! No one wants to be known for the cheapest stud fee, only for the best horse and if he's the best why you charge so little, maybe because you have to beg everyone to breed to him and give them that low budget incentive. Looks to me like the best horse around could name his price. Get over it, you paid for a judge's decision and the judge didn't like your horse!
jamietreehoop 4 years ago
Jamie I have no ideal what you are talking about, and you don't either. I was told to check this video out because of the bashing of a standardbred. You should really look at your self in a mirror. I really don't care what you say about my horses their winning records speak for their self. Now grow up.
speedracking 4 years ago
You do have a sentence that says, "Why breed for less when you can breed to the best for less" on one of your stud's pictures. You grow up and keep your jealous comments to your self. The video proves that he beat you! Taken from one of your previous comments "This horse has never bet me" and get you a dictionary so you can learn how to spell!!!

The rude comments are going to be deleted and you will be blocked. AS for the stills at the end of the video,You must look at them Dee because he only has ONE FOOT ON THE GROUND.A pace is when 2 feet touch the ground at the same time.
TNTyorkies 4 years ago 5
I will watch it again to make sure. I have watched it several times, and he appears to be doing a pace, but then I could be mistaken. I DO know the difference between a pace and a rack, and yes, a pace is a lateral 2-beat gait, while a rack is a 4-beat gait. I have had NSH's (bred them) and attended many ASB shows, so I do understand the footfalls of the rack. I really don't think it matters that much, actually. As you said, TNT, the video was posted for people to enjoy.
DeeDee10x10 4 years ago
I did watch it again, actually again TWICE. While he appears to have only one foot actually touching the ground, because both legs on the same side (laterally) are moving in unison, he is NOT racking. He technically is doing a "flying pace", very similar to what the Icelandics do. A true RACK has 4 distinct beats.
DeeDee10x10 4 years ago
@TNTyorkies you sir are an ass. i'll say what ever I want. you liberial, commie puke, maget infested dope smoking hippie.
pinewood189 1 year ago
Yes, the still photos at the end clearly show him doing a pace, but that is a bit irrelevant to what I'm saying. He's NOT racking, and my original point is that there is no need for rudeness and name-calling, such as the reference to being ignorant and "above the fourth grade" education. There's a place and a need for all breeds. I've seen a program about OTT SB's and how well they did in other disciplines. Just not the need to bash other horses to get that point across, is there?
DeeDee10x10 4 years ago
Hello paceyourheartout! I think your comments about Rocket are quite amusing considering you inquired about breeding to him.
brsinglefooter 4 years ago
I never said that SB's only "pace and rack". Quite the contrary! I said they are BRED to trot or pace. Please read my post correctly before you argue with it. Again a pace and trot are 2-beat gaits, and a rack is a 4-beat gait. I don't have a clue about the bloodlines of the horse in the video, and it doesn't matter, since he's not racking in the first place.
DeeDee10x10 4 years ago
"Pace", is it possible for you to comment without being nasty and rude? You miss the point. A rack is a 4-beat gait, and SB's are bred to TROT or pace, both of which are 2-beat gaits. The horse in the above video is doing a single-foot.

Kristen, Standardbreds are not gaited. They either trot or pace, and they're bred to pull sulkies. You're a bit confused there. A pace and a rack are completely different and NO standardbred will do a rack.
DeeDee10x10 4 years ago
What an ignorant person!!. TWO standardbreds are qualifyed for the coming Olympics for jumping and dressage ( ex race horses no less) Also Standardbreds have set jumping records for clearing 7 feet, and Two are currently kicking butt in England in eventing. My Standardbred has competed at Grand Prix dressage, and most judges think he is a Warmblood LOL

Oh, by the way , these days UNLESS you have a Standie you cannot win speed racking. Check out 'Skips Fancy Pants video's and Stroker. FULL standies whom have been shown with no shoes behind and everyone is jealous of, because they never could touch them.

I think the comments about Lipazanners and TB's (their hearts don't "explode"!) are flat out an attempt to distract from the blatant abuse done to the TWH in the show ring. No horse moves like that naturally without having been sored.

I'm sick of people who probably have shit for horses putting down other's great horses. You have no clue, get lost...
Remo6293 4 years ago
the four beat never turns into a two beat with this horse that is where u are wrong. You hate it that some good ole boys got better horses than you and cannot believe that they rack at speed and maintain a fourbeat gait. It is unheard of in your little world of horses. Read about the breed, understand the difference between a singlefoot and a pace and you will discover some things.....
Remo6293 4 years ago
Rocket is a great horse, but he go into a stepping pace at high speeds which is very smooth(this is not a true rack)but still very smooth.Check out this website that shows stepping pacing horses like rocket.

A steppingpace is acceptable for speedracking IMO. Your horses do a full-blown pace. He looks pretty even to me and smoother than your horses will ever be.

Paceyourheartout, this horse did not cross over into a pace, that's BS. Slow down the video and see for yourself. Do you not know your gaits?

this horse isn't pacing, it has the head sway of a rack, he's to smooth to be pacing, he's just going like a bat out of hell LOL and you can't see that back foot hitting the ground a fraction of a second before the front, look at the still pics, he has one foot on the ground!

racking is pacing. its called racking in other breeds, pacing in standardbred language. and taht looks like one hell of a smooth ride.
xikissbloodylips 5 years ago
Racking is not pacing. In pacing, the same legs on one side move in unison. In a true rack, each foot moves individually. Racking and pacing are two completely different things. Besides that. A rack is a LOT smoother than a pace.
kristen0506 5 years ago
I agree with your comment on how racking is different than pacing, but not on the smoother part. When you have a good sandardbred pacing, they are smooth as silk.

gravedigger, i have watched both a video on your boy and this boy and it is true that they are very similar. And, speedracker, for your information, this horse is not pacing. He's doing a very good looking rack. And riding horses on a paved road is not too hard on their feet and legs. In the english world, it actually helps STRENGTHEN their legs.

I think you have a very nice horse. He is alot like my boy. Actually had someone who knows this horse very well come to florida to see my boy and he said they are very similiar. I really like your boy. If people paid attention and knew what they were looking at they could see that in all your pictures there is one foot on the ground at a time. That is a singlefooter or racking horse. Good luck with your boy he is real nice.
virginiagravedigger 5 years ago
The singlefoot is nothing, but another word for squared up stepping pace, and the horse doing a nice stepping pacing, but he or she gets strung out some and not kept square. He or she tends to show a lot of pace at the faster gaits. The pictures even show two feet back and two feet foreward. Too bad with proper training the horse could of been a good show horse. I world not ride my horses at a paved road that is too hard on the horses legs and feet and can cause road founder.
speedracking 5 years ago
Susie, you must be crazy. You never have anything good to say about this horse or the Rowdy bred horses. Must be a personal problem. Look how smooth he is. If you'll notice the guy is riding him in a bareback pad. I'd like to see you ride your horses in a bareback pad. I doubt you'd be brave enough since you're bouncing 6 inches out of the saddle on your mounts.
rufusdufus31 5 years ago
rufus I like you you speak your mind and it is the truth. Suzie has fast horses I will never take that from her and she loves them to death but they are deffinatley not for everyone. I like a smooth racking horse that is truelly racking like Rocket and Digger. There are not to many that can do this. I just don't understand why she puts all these horses down. Never have been able to figure that out.
