Gaits of Gold

$29.95

For generations, 'old time' gaited horse trainers have kept their methods under wraps. Unfortunately, all too often, they had to, as their 'gaiting techniques' were inhumane. This left the everyday horse lover with few resources for learning how to work with their own gaited horses. All of that changed with the publication of GAITS OF GOLD: Selecting, Fitting, and Training the Naturally Gaited Horse. Brenda Imus, in clear prose and graphics, clearly demonstrates what all of the intermediate gaits are. You'll discover what to look for in a horse, as well as how to train and/or improve the horse you've already got. Horse to pacey, or trotty? This book will explain why that may be so, and show how you can use easy-to-master, humane riding techniques to improve the quality of your ride. There's a thorough section devoted to trimming and shoeing for gait, that just might be what your farrier needs to work with you and your horse. In short, this is the training aid for gaited horse owners of every description Hardcover Style: Hardcover
