Great presentation. It's been a struggle learning about the different gaits. With this presentation, I learned more about the foxtrot than I have in the last twelve years that I've owned MFTs. Wish I'd seen it years ago. Thank you so much.
Thanks for putting this video out! Really helped me understand better. I have a 4 year old Montana Traveler that I got when she was range wild at 7 months old. Really want to work on her gaiting more. Thanks for the inspiration! ❤
The running walk is an even 4 beat gait, it has a head nod, and there is a lot of movement so I don't like that gait. It's not efficient so I wouldn't use it on trails.
Great Video! Did you ever have the chance to train a Mangalarga Marchador? I would be very interested in the differece in gaits between lateral 4-beat-gaits and diagonal 4-beat-gaits and the impact of that difference on training (What exercise are possible or impossible for either for example) ! Also about the Headbob: How do you get proper signals to your horse? I imagine one needs very very soft hands or always have slack in the reins so you dont pull on the mouth with every step they take (I can see you dont pull on them ;) ). PS: Unfortunately I do not own a gaited-or any- horse yet, but I try to educate myself anyways as best I can in preparation. So my questions might seem weird.
I have not trained one of those, but I've ready about them and watched the videos of them. They have the same gaits that all the other gaited horses. You do need soft hands no matter what breed. :) Your questions are good.

You are very welcome!
Thank you for your explanation and clarity.
Thanks, I have a gaited horse and now hopefully I can figure out that he's doing! :D
what if head bob is slightly side to side
That almost always means the horse is pacing!
Please, which is more comfortable for the back, a Foxtrot, a Tenneesee, a Missouri or a Rocky Mountain? Thank you.
How do they compare to the running walk?

You're in Illinois now??! I"m just outside of Champaign IL with a new Fox Trotter! I need your email.
I've only had quarter horses/paints so I'm learning to ride as well as work with her. She's 7.
I'm in Texas now. This video is from before I moved. You can look at the time. We might be doing a clinic in Woodstock next week.
@@IvyS I thought you might be in Texas. Congrats on your wedding...beautiful photography. Will Woodstock be on your Facebook page?
