No long hooves. No ropes or pullies. No cranked up tail. Great to see a REAL gaited horse perform!! Thank you for posting.

AMEN!!! There just arn't enough videos like this out there!! Kudos to you for having a real gaited horse!!! Nothing wrong with the natural thing!

Will someone with a gaited horse please post a video of good equitation? Little girls in the 5 gaited UPHA classes don't count. Please show me someone riding with their heels in alignment with their shoulders. Don't any of you try to tell me your heels go up by the horse's shoulders. They don't. Anyway, the horse is nice and is nice to put up with that horrid "riding".

Warum lehnen sich diue Reiter sooo weit nach hinten? Meine Güte so könnte ich doch keinen Pass reiten! Also nach meiner Meinung reiten diese Reiter die Pferde komischer . Tolle Pferde . Würd das auch gern mal reiten, bin aber auch mal rennpass beim isi geritten und sie sind genauso schnell. manchmal auch noch scheller, bis zu 50 kmh

He's lovely! I'm never seen a pretty single footer before... :)

@RattieKarma -- Gotcha. I agree, the smoothness of a TW is the only way to ride--no bouncing or posting for me! My horse is barefoot and will be working with a bitless bridle, so no cruelty worries (some people hear "Tennessee Walker" and immediately assume I use the cruel bits, pads and chains, etc.).

[RattieKarma]

@mundymanor they call it that bc its the "second gear" (so to speak) in these horses - like the regular trot in a regular 3 gaited horse is "second gear" to them -TWH & racking horses can hit this "trot" gear in various speeds -when i ride with other riders & their quarter horses or other regular 3 gaited horses - my sweet ol' mare will hit the same speed as theyre going in their trot - only im not bouncing up &down! - its a COOL ride - smooooooth - i cant stand riding anything BUT a TWH now!

[RattieKarma]

@Hudson2012 this horse u asked about is a Racking Horse - they are basically Tennessee Walking Horses that are not trained on tall boots and chains - they are allowed to just hit the natural "trot" and they do it FAST - u can find more info by googling " Wikipedia Racking Horse " -

[jumpersaw]

wow great equitation

[17BlackFoot]

@ferociousgumby I know on the TWH mare that I ride I could hold a glass of water without spilling it (if she neck reined) and by the looks of this horses gait I bet he could too! Its just getting that whole coordination thing down... Its a whole new world when you go this fast on a horse!

[brightstar331]

Okay...here's my question:  Why does the horsemanship look so incorrect? I mean leaning way back behind the natural vertical, toes pointed down, heels up; some riders on these gaited horses even lean to the side and look at the ground! Can you not ride these horses with a centered riding style????

[mundymanor]

Funny how so many people call this a "trot". This is far faster and smoother than any trot.
