What Is A HALF-Gaited Horse??

[@lostribe5130]

Triggs is just going to be a treasure to the right person, but that person needs to like a light moving spirited horse. And they will love him.

[@WoundedWarrior2012]

I love a highly spirited horse who knows he has the power of Jesus to take us to the moon.😂

[@lostribe5130]

@@WoundedWarrior2012 Sounds like a fit!

[@STONERANCHTEXAS]

Love him! Must be a nightmare trying to test him for lameness though 😅❤️

[@lotsamoxie]

Wow! Fascinating. I've never seen this in motion before.

[@barbaracarlson5018]

I'm glad you explained this because I never really understood it. The horse looks great!! And so do you. 😊

[@tiasims7737]

Very cool! I'd love to see a slo-mo flying lead change some time. Not necessarily on Triggs. I wouldn't want to stress him out, just one of your sweeties that is comfortable with it. 🌞

[@rhfarmstables]

We can do that!

[@Hituk056]

I would love riding him! He’s beautiful and has a lot of spirit! Thanks for the gait demo!

[@amydavid1111]

Wow. Thank you for showing us his beautiful moves. Wow. ❤

[@donnaleemontgomery8635]

Can appreciate the gates when riding them .. and your so right they are very smooth.. nice explaining this .. awareness is important.!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@TammySaj-zm6kr]

Gaits, not gates

[@christinematton4125]

He is a beautiful horse❤

[@heatherjohn2047]

He seems like a wonderful horse I love him so very much ❤️🥰💕🤗

[@WoundedWarrior2012]

Wow. I would love to own a horse like him.❤

[@goldielion-s7f]

Guys, if you never have, you should try a Tennessee Walker or a Missouri Foxtrotter, or someone like Triggs. Best ride ever!!

[@JuanitaThompson-cm5tq]

@@goldielion-s7f I would love to ride a Missouri Foxtrotter!

[@JuanitaThompson-cm5tq]

when I was a teen I had a little grade horse that occasionally paced! That type of gait is less comfortable to sit than a single-foot gait- or when each feet hits the ground independently. Very cool!❤

[@CindyB333-88]

I would love to ride a gaited horse.❤

[@ubitialcosmos]

I've ridden a Paso Fino, Tennessee Walker, and a gaited Morgan. Without a doubt I would 100% recommend trying gaited horses just for the experience alone

[@lostribe5130]

Thanks for explaining that. When I was a young kid my older sister got a gaited horse and she was so smooth. But she was really too big for me and I took care of her after my sister got married and moved off, but she needed some other horses and got surly and bit me because I just think she was unhappy and bored. So we sold her and then I started getting my own horses. But I really wanted to ride her when I got a little bigger. But by then I was just a gnat to her.

[@darlenemckay265]

Awesome horse ❤

[@javierdominguez5525]

Looks Like a paso fino and Tennessee walker both in one . Interesting

[@Sine-gl9ly]

Many years ago, when I was living in New Zealand, I regularly rode a horse who was a discard from harness racing. He was a lovely-natured horse, sure-footed and calm to ride in the hilly back-country, steady as a rock in walk or a slow jog but when he got onto good ground and could pick up the pace, well ... that was his problem. He'd switch gaits at random, cantering in front and trotting behind, or vice-versa, would mix up what he was doing with his legs and you'd feel you were riding over cobblestones ... in the arena, working over poles and the like, seemed to focus his mind and he could do his different paces just fine, but outside .... He never struck himself, or even stumbled, but he could be so darned _uncomfortable_ to ride!

[@rhfarmstables]

Sounds tough!

[@carriebradley7634]

This is super interesting and educational. Now I need to see how other horses legs move compared to triggs! I don't know enough about horses yet to TRULY appreciate triggs the way I know I should! He is gorgeous!

[@WoundedWarrior2012]

None of my horses do this.😂

[@lostribe5130]

He's a great size and weight.

[@silverrealm]

Triggs is cool! That transition seems like it'd be abrupt though.

[@suem9050]

Thanks for this video, and showing the transition from canter to gait! Is the 2-beat gait the same as pacing?

[@rhfarmstables]

I think technically gaited horses do different types: pace, running walk, tolt etc. It's not our area of expertise

[@pretzel2272]

I would love to 😊❤.

[@christinefoster5159]

THAT IS SUCH A COOL VIDEO ❤❤

[@revoroad1789]

Yes !

[@SadiesashaHennessy]

He would be awesome to ride him😅

[@almirakline6070]

❤❤❤❤

[@anitawallace5941]

If you’re familiar with a gaited horse your supposed to canter them at all if u keep them in their gate then they are really smooth he’s a beautiful horse I would say Kentucky mountain saddle horse or rocky mountain saddle horse

[@Groundedsquirrel]

Oh wow, I did not know a horse could be half gaited!

[@myra-n3d]

Half gaited breed and half not. I had a half breed mare. Mom was gaited, Daddy jumped the fence.

[@Groundedsquirrel]

@@myra-n3d ah. So the offspring is either gaited or not gaited?

[@mystdragon242]

ITS THE SPRINKLE SONG

[@naomipommerel8415]

Pacing!

[@RaeHoughton-km4nf]

i would so get a gaited horse but i'd like to learn the harder gaits so im more adjusted and i dont know if gaited horses are good for western speed events

[@janethompson2305]

Was Triggs trained to gaite like that or did he s natural like that.? I wonder if Shae from Free Spirit Equestrian has seen Triggs & I bet she would lovento ride him. Shae has many horses & she trains to.

[@rhfarmstables]

He's born like that, he's pretty green under saddle also

[@WoundedWarrior2012]

@@rhfarmstableshe looks awesome to be green! You're doing great things with him.❤

[@addie_cake8730]

Is he part standardbred? His gaits are very lateral/pacey. Specifically a stepping pace and a true/hard pace.

[@rhfarmstables]

Not sure!

[@SabrinaTheMiddleAgeWitch]

Is this what's called a half linger?

[@rhfarmstables]

Nope! That's a specific breed

[@sherrymcnutt9863]

Is he part Tennessee walker

[@rhfarmstables]

No clue! Unlikely

[@BreannaImpson-t2e]

He looks like a reverse gate or like he would be uncomfortable to ride do you sit well and hold your seat ok bearback?

[@rhfarmstables]

The gait is pretty smooth to ride, even the trot just the transitions are a bit bumpy. Gotta have a good seat!

[@lacertabilineata9337]

Norweger Ponies können das grundsätzlich. Man nennt das "tölten".

[@maryjanecooper5666]

Why isn’t the half-gait called a pace such as what Standardbreds do?

[@rhfarmstables]

Different gaited breeds call it different names, pace, rack, singlefoot, tolt etc.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Pass. Ive had 1 good experience with gaited horses.

[@jjones9536]

Definitely not.
