What do you think is the best all around gaited horse, what horse can do it all, like trails, english, western, driving, etc. Then say why
Yes, you are wrong.I kind of got turned off to gaited horses when the Rocky that I rode a few times could not really canter. That bothered me. So, made me assume that all gaited horses could not canter. So, I AM wrong, aren't I?
That is what I thought about Morgans too. I mean I used to own and show them and never heard of them being gaited. But in a recent return to owning a gaited horse, my research turned up naturally gaited Morgans and the Appy Indian Shuffle. Both are rare but come by their gait as naturally as the other gaited breeds.But the thing is, I don't think they are naturally gaited, it is more trained in. So I would choose a Morgan as a great all around horse, but not as the best gaited breed...
I looked into the price tag on a few gaited Morgans :shock: :shock: .....and my check book ran and hid from me!Years back I knew a gal that was breeding along the Lippett lines-I loved her horses-they were so sensible & sturdy. I've been hearing about the gaited Morgans for awhile now, but haven't seen one in person, but I can imagine they are not cheap, especially if coupled with a "color" like buckskin or palomino. Curlies also have a gaited line & I think there is a breeder of them in Texas. The gaited horse I have now is a Paso Fino,she does all gaits & loves to jump also.
