Everyone said that that’s normal for a walking horse but I am new to them. I sold my 14hh quarter horse then bought him. He’s about 17hh and very big and strong. Just trying to lead him around the new place is a chore, he drags me, walks to fast and easily passes me up. I’m a 125lb girl, he...

I’ve sold my short quarter horse and gotten a tall Tennessee walker. Will a Tom Thumb work on him like my cousins are suggesting or do I need something else? he’s13 and seems to be gentle. Can you suggest any good western bits for gaited horses $70 and under

Hello! My name is Lynn, I have been riding for about 9 years now and I got my first horse 2 years ago. Her name is Moonlight and she is a Spotter Saddle Horse, she is a pacer (I think this may be part of the problem) that I have just now been able to get to trot this past month and a half...

Hi my name is Zafar Talpur. 41 male, have been riding since a year now. Still can't canter though :rolleyes:. Mostly interested in equine diet and gaited horses. Kind Regards. Choc.

I have a mare that I have had since she was a filly. She has always been very unbalanced and tripped a lot even as a foal. She was anemic when I got her, but she has been treated for that. She is 6 now and she has been broke and ridden for quite a while. She has an interesting lateral walk that...

I have a TWH/Foxtrotter filly (now 3). She's got a lovely smooth "ramble" as we call it, and several different speeds of it. However recently I noticed she seemed off behind when riding her in a ramble and circling to the right. A look at her moving in the round pen confirmed that she is...

Hi! Recently while trail riding, my gelding has been getting cuts on his front hooves and its making him tender on his feet which I don't like and neither does he, so I'm looking into getting him a pair of bell boots which will work good for long hours on the trail.. So does anyone have a good...

Hi everyone! How would you teach a gaited (Icelandic) horse to trot? I have seen her trot in the paddock like once or twice, but never in handwork or with rider. Her preferred gait is pace, but she also chooses to tölt from time to time. But the thing is, that I cannot even think of possibly...

My 14 year old Saddlebred is having strange issues. We recently moved him to our own property. This was about three weeks ago. 13 days after he got there, I went out to feed him. After he ate, he looked strange. He just sat there. He's a cribber, and he religiously cribs after every meal, but he...

Please read to the end... So I'm 14 and have been wanting a horse for a WHILE... I have been riding since I was 8 and it is my whole life. I started competing in dressage and jumping when I was 9, stopped jumping, competed in dressage for 2 years, did a few shows in training level last year...

So i'm trying to work on getting my twh to stay collected. He's very heavy in the mouth and I really want to work on his gaits so he isn't so pacey or doesn't throw his head up at the canter. I'm wondering if there is a certain bit I could use that won't be harsh on his mouth but will help him...

Why do people who ride pacers lean back so far?

There's a Kentucky Mountain Horse at our barn and my trainer let me ride him. Once he stopped sassing me, it was pretty fun! It was just walking and trotting (He's super out of shape and I'm pretty sure he'd fall flat on his face if I asked him to canter) Anyway, I asked him to trot and then he...

Last summer I started having fun with my walker gelding and attended some local fun shows for contesting. He's a pretty good all around horse...kids use for four H & I trail ride him and we've done many parades. So I have a few saddles. Mostly at home I use more lightweight codura saddles. Well...

I got my horse Skyy in January this year. He's a registered TWH with The Pusher as his grandsire. - He is the first gaited horse I have owned. 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, Not sure if I have come to the right place, but my friend just got 4 Tennessee Walking horses which are all Gated, I am sort of their life line with the horses because they dont really know much about horses, but The horses were all imported from Tennessee to Toronto and then Moved to...

I've been asked by my friends, who are less fortunate than I, who ride straight going stock to explain what I mean by "Setting a gait". To explain what it means to set a gait, first we must discuss the Naturally Gaited Horse. A "Naturally Gaited Horse" is a breed of horse that has been...

So I havn't seen many threads about Saddleseat. So I am officially dedicated this to tips , rules, outfits, horses, pictures, oils/supplements, pretty much anything to do with saddleseat. I just started this year with a Kentucky Mountain horse and need some help(:
