  • Meet Walter. He is a Missour Fox Trotter gelding and boy can he move! He is one of the fastest MFTS I have rode. Walter is not our horse, he is a friends horses who was down visiting our homestead for the weekend. Walter is by no means the “best” but he is a fun horse to ride and how he moves and goes is part of what makes this breed great. Just a fun ride!

    Hey everyone! We hope you are all WONDERFUL on this beautiful Wednesday. Just a heads up. Walter is NOT our horse. Just a friends. We thought it would be fun to show him off a little. Although not the prettiest horse (kinda a goofy looking boy, but still adorable lol) Walter has an amazing walk and is extremely fast! Such a fun MFT for sure! He is a blast!

  • @evamajdecki841
    @evamajdecki841 7 дней назад +4

    I think Walter when he trots , he is able to cover substantial amount of ground in the least amount of steps. Because of his anatomy he can achieve this correct movement .
    I’m not an expert on horses, I would compare the movement to a very well bred German Shepherd, when they are known for their flying trot without exaggeration and they are at the same time able to keep their back firm,steady to the point that you can balance a glass of water and it’s not going to spill. You have to see it to be able to recognize it. It’s beautiful to see the moment of suspension ! It’s like a well lubricated machine.
    I think this is what JR was trying to show the viewers. Very much appreciated !
    Anyone that is looking for the movement should breed to this horse because it is very difficult to get.
    I have a German Shepherd with this kind of movement ☺️and it is amazing to see ! Hope you find the comparison interesting.
    I do very much enjoy your channel and wish you all the best !
    Using common sense in raising and dealing with animals it is a key to success ! And it is evident that you are using it with pride . Congratulations and Best Regards 😊
    Cheers from Canada !

    Gosh JR, you (your soul) needs a Walter!! The difference between you going on a short trail ride while training one of your younger horses vs going on a longer pleasure ride on a horse that can handle your weight is striking! I made a comment before about when Oliver gets trained so you can go on pleasure rides and I know you will enjoy him, but you need a Fox Trotter that can handle your weight. Your love for the breed surely shone through while riding Walter!!! That you get great satisfaction in training your MFT's is obvious, but your enjoyment of just riding one without having to worry about being too heavy was very apparent!! I hope you get one. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Yeah old Walter may not be the prettist but those older MFT were great at the gait, my first MFT was one of those, and he was a great horse taught me about the MFT and he was a very consistant mover, I had three more later more "Modern" and much larger 16+ hands over 1250# built like a stout quarter horse but that boy could move, rode with a "little man syndrome" Hispanic guy that had a large walking horse that he thought was fast ,my horse Snickers stayed with and past him when he decided he was going to show off his walker, surprised and educated him he was not so fast, Snickers loved to move out. later I got another younger horse, Blazer and he was named that because he too was fast, he would pass any MFT in the club, but when asked they both would slow down and walk leisurely, great horses, we rode MFT for 30 years. We rode trails did a couple cross state rides 195 miles in 9 days, cattle round ups and MFT sure opened the Qtr horse peoples eyes on cattle work, even did demo rides at a horse affair week end demoing the MFT horses, had a blast showing off. did a couple club type shows with other gaited breeds and did really well, but time has caught up with all of us and we had to give up riding about 10 years ago, too hard with the old body to get on and off. Wife and I owned about 10 of them over the years, several large ones and several smaller ones for wife and daughter but we had a blast with them and even our grand daughter enjoyed them. made all the work worthwhile. good ride you had

    Thanks for this very educational video. Despite watching many MFT show videos, ... I just could not understand the gaits. I'm too used to walk, trot canter. But your demonstration and measuring the hoof prints with your tape, plus your saying to concentrate on studying the hind feet, ..... well, ..... I could finally "see it". Still a bit unsettled about the constant bobbing of the head, but I have heard the saying that, ... "to ride one is to own one". Time will tell!
    You seemed to be having alot of fun, ... I'm happy you were able to have some fun with Sadie and your friend Brian. Looked like a beautiful day. God Bless. - ACD

    I think that was an exceptional explanation of gaits and stride length for efficiency, Walter in his winter woollys shure doesn't look like the trail blazer that he is. Endurance horses are often excluded from the big races until they are over 6 years old championships are often won by horses in their teens I used to work for UAE Endurance the fastest horse we had was a Ahkal Tech / gated Arab mix the horses natural gates where walk running walk pace and gallop (lope) canter was just a disunited mess 😊 the only reason he didn't become the champion he could have been was because he lost his sight so couldn't complete without a guide horse and we could not find one who could match him on easy ground so we just had to get off and run him when there was logs another big obstacles you had to step up or down. But the real kicker was he wouldn't follow anyone into water when he wasn't at home. RIP light my flame (Sparks).

      @kathrynfowler9887 Shae is pegging her at 31. "Race" isn't meant to lather either horse but to see which one would be lagging to keep up. I think Walter and Bagheera would have a blast going cruising speed down the trail with each other not waiting for others to hurry up.

    What a joyful and educational video. Thank you for taking us with you and Walter on a lovely trail ride. As a person from the Thoroughbred world, Walter is so interesting to me. The slo-mo clips were every informative. I was trying to imagine what you meant about the front and rear hoof prints. The slo-mo showed it clearly. I would say the reason for his excellent gait is that Walter is a very balanced horse. He is quite beautiful in a different way from a Thoroughbred.
