EASY-GAITED HORSES:
Gentle, Humane Methods for Training & Riding Gaited Pleasure Horses
by Lee Ziegler
It's easy to fall in love
with gaited horses, says author Lee Ziegler, and not just because they
tend to be handsome animals with good dispositions. More important,
their special gaits are comfortable to ride over long distances (unlike
the jarring trot), making them a trail rider's dream come true.
Whether it's the running walk of the Tennessee Walder, the fox trot of
the Missouri Fox Trotter, the Rocky Mountain Horse's saddle gait, the
Icelandic Horse's tolt, the Paso Fino's largo,, or the Peruvian Paso's
sobreandando, eash easy gait can be smooth and delightful to experience.
Riding and training one of these horses, however, may be like changing
from a one-gear pedal bicycle to a 20-speed model. Easy-gaited horses
are complex, multi-geared individuals and present unique challenges for
a horse owner who is more familiar with the simple walk, trot, and
canter. Ziegler guides you through the fine points of developing and
maintaining these extra gaits, using humane training methods that stress
good horsemanship.
This book includes:
> Charts comparing the different gaits
> Best equipment for easy-gaited horses
> Ground exercises to develop coordination, flexibility, and trust
> Solutions to common gait problems
> Mounted exercises to improve the easy gaits
> Sample lesson plans
