Title pretty much says it all! How smooth can someone expect a TWH to be in the flat walk, running walk, canter and gallop? I am especially curious about the canter and gallop. Does it feel anything like a non-gaited horse? I have a lot of experience with QH's gaits and im not a massive fan of...

Hello:) I have a twh and he’s a really great horse but I’m wanting to show Him. But I unfortunately can’t at the moment because he doesn’t trot under saddle, but he trots perfectly fine while being lunged.

He was trained EXTREMELY well by a teen I mean very very verrrrrrrrrrry well. When I got him he could do his FW, RW, Rack. She even said she had used him...

Hi! i'm getting ready for fair and the one event is with patterns. So i've been trying to get my mom's horse Todd to go from a trot in straight line to a canter. I'm cuing correctly because going around the ring i can get a beautiful canter out of him, but from the straight on he attempts but...

As I have gotten older I found myself switching my ride to a pleasure gaited horse. I am curious what other baby boomers (55+) are doing?
