Three Man Horse Club Trail Ride, April 23, 2011, 4146 Jackson-La Road, Woodville, Mississippi 39669. For information call (225)276-6769 or (601) 502-5613. Over night camp out WELCOME!!!!! Gates open at 11:00am, but if you come before that time that's no problem..COME ON IN!!!
What a lovely horse! My very first horse was a fourteen-year-old grade mare, blood bay, who introduced me to the single-foot gait. She only singlefooted on direction; on the way home after a long day of exploring back roads in Michigan. When she was her most relaxed and had worn off her natural desire to race (and we did a lot of sand-trail racing with other kids), this smart lady just paced all the way home, happy and content. It was the easiest gait I ever rode on any horse to date.
Personally I do not find this abusive or unnatural for thee particular horses. This is a natural gait for them and I'm not sure but working on a hard surface with this gait may not be as bad as galloping one. OTOH, personally I find nothing beautiful about this gait either. To me it is gross ... lol.
Want to see abuse; check out Tennessee Walking horses to see what THEY go through. By definition they are constantly in pain :(
Ah, but I can find vids for you that show the abuse is rampant. It's been a while since I viewed them and I can't remember all the "terms", but some pricks "train" the horses to not show pain even though they are "sored" when they are being checked. Shoes on horse is an odd enough invention but these shoes, weights etc are IMO (and that of others) abusive.
I shake my head when I wonder what freaks actually thought all this stuff up!
Beautiful horses! There is just one bad thing I ve seen in this vid--->shaved mouth and ears should be forbidden. But the rider did a good job and the horse as well.
I have a standar/walker cross with cupid's arrow in her blood, she is naturally gaited. I won't ever ride another breed ever. So smooth and good temperment. I'm in my 50's. No gimmicks just a smooth ride ! At my age, posting is out of the question.....
if it wasnt for a standardbred you wouldnt have a singlefooter if you horses for your self all the way back to 1300's a pacing horse was common everywhere was king in europe said he wanted running horse todays modern thourghbred but a guy near rhode island kept the pacing horses calling them narrageset pacer suppling all the pacing lick for modern day standardbreds paso finos canadian pacers even the tennessee walking horse was orginally called the tennessee pacer people need to get a grip
pace right side left side ,rack 4 beat feet pick up high man made.singlefooting 4 beat gait not pick up so high but naural to the born with it, twhbea rack in front pace in back man made.most twhbea pace or singel foot.look it up
Fucking assholes , running horses on hard tops .... joints must be destroyed by age 10 , do they water ski or what pulling backward in mouth ... truly a sport of barbarians any else beside primitive animals abusers coming from these states ???
@rodeosabuseanimals PETA much???? If you bothered to learn anything about the animals you claim to love and protect, you would know that there is no suspension phase in a singlefoot gait. That means there is never a point in the gait where the horse has all four feet off the ground like a trot or canter. Therefore, there is no point at which all of their weight lands on one or two legs. They will typically do this gait well into their 20's or 30's with no foot or leg problems.
@rodeosabuseanimals I love horses more that anything else in the world and I really didn't see anything wrong with this video. They probably were riding on this terrain to show the horse's gait off. That doesn't mean that they ride on that ALL the time. A little hard ground here and there wont hurt anything. And as for the pulling on the mouth, I saw nothing of the sort. In fact, it looked like they were barely even putting pressure on the curb bit. These guys are doing a good job.
That was the suckiest filming I have ever seen the camera should have been filming the horses legs so that the viewers could see the gaits but you got mostly from the hocks up!
It is interesting that these guys do not realize that the word "singlefoot" has been long established in the oldest dictionary as a smooth gait in which one foot is always on the ground. The lateral, diagonal designation is not a part of the designation. This video is an embarrassment to the singlefooting horses at large. The TWH and Paso influence is very obvious. Not the smooth, ambling horse of a singlefoot. The even 4-beat is correct but the lateral designation is so wrong!
Hmmm, does the interviewer even know how to SPELL horse? Less talk, more action. Nice horses and a very natural single foot, not like the overgrown feet of TWHs.
You say that horse looks "terrible" and "not natural" and "horrible"?? You're terrible~! There's not a damn thing wrong with that horse. He's flat shod, naturally performing his gait, both slow and fast with no devices! Unnatural? American-PASO-man, these horses were created from pasos and other gaited horses such as MFT and Tenn. Walkers, dumbell. What's your problem? Jerk! What if some parent put their child's video up, you gonna smear him and call him ugly just cause you don't like it?
you're kidding, right? has someone hijacked your account? With a name like "americanpasoman" I would assume you're into Paso Finos or Peruvians, and if it's the first, you should be the last throwing "unnatural" comments. A nonhorsey friend was horrified the first time she saw a video of a fino horse. If it's the latter, this isn't a whole lot different than a paso llano. If it's either, there's common ancestry.
Seems to be a bit more pacey at speed ... a lot like my boy. Dropping the head and rounding out the back rather than having it hollow might help square it up. Not that anyone was looking for advice. ;) I'm hardly one to give it ... horse looks smooth and fun to ride. What is the purpose of this video, was it made for TV or something? Seems kind of ... forced.
This is indeed called a single-foot in the racking horse world in the United States. The tolt and the rack/single-foot gait is essentially the same thing.
That's like saying a trot and long trot are "essentially the same thing." Drop one horse performing each gait in front of a panel of competent judges at a sanctioned URHOEA or RHBAA show and they'll separate them for you in short order, according to the class division. Each class division was created to accommodate a specific style of gait (ie- park pleasure, trail pleasure, country pleasure, flat shod, flat shod style, etc). Better study your verses before you go preaching to the choir ; )
What do you mean by "Drop a horse performing each gait..." I am a bit confused by that. Are you saying to take one horse performing a rack and the other performing a single-foot in front of competent judges and let them decide if the gaits are the same?
jaburchfield, this isn't the show ring and 99% of the horses at the RHBAA is pacing...don't even compare these horses to any of the RHBAA crap and yes, the single-foot is the same as the rack..put your book down and learn from the saddle
My apologies to the rest of you but this person is the epitome of ignorant. Just because you can't see the differences doesn't mean that they aren't there. That's your shortcoming. I've ridden gaited horses all my life, and what I've learned comes from practical experience. I've been lucky enough to ride and shoe a few world champions, and if you go fast enough nothing is going to be as smooth as when you're going slow...
in some segments it is more of a stepping-pace but in others you can clearly hear the four beat gait to it. and if u slow it down, only one foot strikes the ground at a time. a steppingpace still has somewhat of a two beat lateral sound to it.
These are atandardbreds that will singlefoot all standardbreds dont just pace, i think they have probably been cross bred with trotting standardbreds and different types of gaited horses. i love the horses but they have some stb in them and theres nothing wrong with that.
At least 95 % Standarbred. The still shots the horses are 4 step pacing which they call a singlefoot gate. At high speeds you can not hear that pause. They are still smooth and great looking horses! Nothing wrong with that gait!
I had one when I was growning up and I thought she was a Paso but seeing this I believe she was a single foot. Best horse in the world. The mare jumped into a field of a buckskin gaited horse and that is how I got the "gift" horse. We had her from birth. Sweetest horse I ever knew. Raised by children and one could crawl under her and she knew not to move. I still miss her.
It doesn't sound like pace to me. If it were a true pace it would only be a 2 beat gait. I hear 4 distinct, fairly evenly placed beats. Stepping pace would be a 1-2 (pause) 3-4 sound, more syncopated. So if they are standardbreds, they are nice singlefooting ones.
These La. gaited horses are decendents of the spanish horses just like the Paso Fino. My dad used to call them creole ponies because they don't get over 15 hands.
If your Paso Fino can Largo or Corto she can keep up... The Paso gaits are very close to saddle rack and singlefooting gaits in timing, cadence, and the way the horse uses their body. The headset and action differs, but the other qualities are the same.
So is it a standard breed? It moves like one, and lookes like one. lol

@Lagolop, like most generalities this one is untrue.
TWH show people adhere to the same AHSA rules that every one does.
There will be individuals that do not obey these rules.
The rules exist because the majority thought it best to adopt them.
