capacity to provide smooth no-bounce magic-carpet rides.
The most under-rated phenomenon in horsemanship is a gaited-horse experience on a PasoFino, Missouri FoxTrotter,Tennessee Walker, Mangalarga Marchador, Campolina, Icelandic, Florida Cracker, Marwari, Spotted Saddle Horse, Racking (Single-Footing) Horse, or Peruvian Paso. Most experienced riders are unfamiliar with these breeds, their mellow temperaments, and their capacity to provide smooth no-bounce magic-carpet rides.
REVERAND HOMER - A RACKING HORSE
Gaited Horses GaitWay
They create these by always placing three feet together on the ground (with the exception of the Racking Horse, which always places just one foot on the ground), thus avoiding the up-and-down bounce of a non- gaited horse, such as a Quarter Horse, Arabian, or warm-blooded sport horse. Gaited horse gaits are hereditary, and foals start gaiting along with their mothers within an hour of birth.
