You keep practicing with him/her. They will learn it eventually.
yes i had a Tennessee walking horse that had a smooth gait
Nope, the gaits of a standard horse is: Walk, Trot/Jog, Canter/Lope, Gallop. Some breeds of horses have unique gaits such as the Tennessee Walker, or the Missouri Fox Trotter, etc. Unless you have a fancy horse that somehow you trained to skip, or if its another name you have given to a gait, horses CANNOT skip.
it is trotting,cantering,galloping,and running even walking is a gait because the horse steps 4 beats. There are four gaits referred to in horsemanship...the walk, trot, canter and gallop. These are determined not only by speed, but how the horse places its hooves down during the gait (3 beats or 4). When you hear someone refer to a horse as "gaited", it means the horse does not trot. This typically refers to "smoother" horses such as the Tennessee Walker, but is not limited to breeds like this.
They are most famously known for the running walk.
For example a Lope or a canter which has a 3 beat gait. A gallop is 4 beats gait. A trot is a 2 beat gait as you can see the diffrance there are also gaited horses that have diffrent gaits like a single footed gait.
Well I have a Tennessee Walking Horse and she is really smart and a good listener. And Tennessee Walking Horses are popular for their natural gait.
Personally, having a TWH shod or unshod shouldn't affect the gait at all, unless the horse is wearing non-fitting shoes
If left untreated, club foot will result in an abnormal gait, and further deformity may occur on side of the foot due to preferential weight bearing.
Foot drop is a medical disorder that is considered to be a gait abnormality. In order for it to be treated, the underlying order that is causing it must be found and corrected.
actually a Tennessee Walking Horse is the very best for a beginning rider, calm, surefooted and even gait.
At the gallop they can be quite fast but they are not race horses and were bred for the walking gait or the better named hereditary running walk at which they excel.
