What gaits?

This is my fox trotter mare. We have had trouble with her being pacey in the past and switched to a gaited horse saddle. I am thrilled to get diagonal gaits out of her even if it is trotty.

She is a good horse overall and fun on the trail. You should check out her more recent videos. We have really made progress.

Thanks for the compliments. She has gotten softer and better in her gait since this was taken. She is a mare of many gaits though.

Sit back in the saddle a bit and push her in to the bit with a slight tension, yet let her nod her head abit Head up ! I can see she has it .I she shawed? If not how is she trimmed. They naturally ware down the heels. If you farrier is building up the heels like a quarter horse it will make her break gait. Let her wear like she would the way she moves. Common mistake. Takes a good farrier to know the difference. I have 3. The first one is 27 and it took3 years to get the trimming right.

@orangerocks3 No that was getting into a slow gait

atn1:36 was that the flat walk?

Not true. A horse has a hollow back when pacing or step pacing, but not when gaiting. The rack is like a flat walk except it's a tighter and doesn't have a head shake.
