 Gaited Breeds
Below is a little bit about the most popular Gaited Horse Breeds. There are others, many crosses, offshoots of main registries, and new ones coming up all the time. As with any type or breed of horse, proper training and handling brings out the desired temperament and attributes of a horse, while improper, or cruel training or treatment, can turn even the most gentle horse into a basket case. The descriptions of these breeds are what they are over all known for, however, it is important to be sure and check the horse, as well as the people and environment the horse is coming from, before you purchase!! Please browse through, and feel free to contact us with any questions you have!
