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?

Sounds like a smooth, 4 beat to me.

So is it a standard breed? It moves like one, and lookes like one. lol

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!

@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.

I am from North, La and I wanted to know do you still train these horse and do you have any for sale.

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 :(

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.

@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.
