Thanks everyone. Our first show of the year is this weekend. My farrier just trimmed her feet up and he will be there for the show.

My Piebald lad

Sweet. Beautiful black and white. I want to say saddlebred but not real sure. Gaited though. I love his movement.

Are you talking about my lad equus? He certainly is not Gaited, and not a saddlebred.

He is a Dutch warmblood crossed with a welsh section D, has got lovely and correct movement for dressage.

Yeah I was. I have only seen saddlebreds and the ones I have seen move like that a lot. He is one gorgeous boy though.

I know nothing about the warmbloods.

Equus a gaited horse moves completly differently.
In the trot a gaited horse will move both leg on one side forwards and then both legs on the other side (so for example Off hind and off fore will move forwards together).

A normal (non gaited) horse (like my lad) will move opposite legs forward, so the off fore and the near hind will move forwards at the same time.

This shows a good example of a gaited horse moving in trot:


Notice that both legs on the side near us are forwards and both legs on the side away from us are back.


Sorry for taking this off track Tess. My next post will be back on track promise!
