So I know the normal gaits but when it comes to gaited horse gaits....I'm totally clueless . Winnie is gaited, and I finally got my mom to video it today, but I have no clue what she does.....
So does anyone have a clue?? sorry the videos a bit blurry but my camera sucks...
I'm not the greatest at determining gaits but it looks like a rack to me.
Its hard to tell from a distance but thats my guess.
Here is a good site to study for more information Index of Gait Critique
I usually only know when I'm doing it wrong in the saddle. Either she will get pacy which is very uncomfortable and difficult to post, or she will actually trot and I have to post :lol:
For me its easier to feel then to actually see what she is doing. I can tell when she is collected and really reaching out in front and getting up under herself and her power is really coming from her rear.
It's a little too far away and sunny. It might be a rack some of the time, but it looked more diagonal, like a pace or a trot. Have you looked around youtube? I've had good luck searching for Tennessee Walker gaits and the like. My horse racks well, but only out on the trail with a nice long stretch--I tried to get some vid of him in a ring today, and no go! It can be frustrating trying to figure out gaits!
You were doing a Flat walk, Its just a tad faster than a dog walk and slower than the running walk. I can tell because his head is shaking but he's still not going as fast as the running walk should be.
Can you ask ur mom if she can video you riding again? Tommorow I can try and Ride my tennese walker and show you the gaits.
Starts off as a Flat Walk then moves into a running walk. You should feel the difference in your butt between the two. Although I should be seeing more of a head bob. It's a little difficult to see.
I am purchasing a 7 yr old MFT. Only able to ride once, felt pacey and back was hallowed out. Previous owner didn't gait horse. Talked to the trainer of the horse and said he did a nice running walk. Is this horse to old to train to collect up round out his back and start to gait agian?
This is a very good tempered horse and want to give him a chance.
That is a Flat walk! my horses do that walk all the time, but i can't get them to do the running walk.
