Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is by far the most helpful thing I have read on gaited horses. Wish I had seen it before I started working with my Peruvian. It would have alleviated a lot of the uncertainty and anxiety in setting his gaits. Extremely well illustrated and written for the non-expert gaited horse owner. I have purchased extra copies for even my experienced gaited-horse friends. This is a must-have for everyone who rides and loves gaited horses.

Gaits of Gold clearly explains and illustrates everything a person couldpossibly want to know about naturally gaited horses. It carefully explains all the gaits, anddemonstrates how they're related to one another, and to the conformation of the horse. It thenshows what to look for in a gaited horse as well as what to look out for. It takes the readerthrough all the basic training of a horse, from leading right through to gait training.From there it moves on to the subject of correcting gait problems that may already exist. This portion leads readers and their horses through a 6-week gait retraining course one part devoted tohorses that tend to pace, another to those that prefer to trot. There's a chapter devoted to the topicof correctly fitting bit and saddle, and shoeing for gait. The latter clearly and conciselydemonstrates how certain weights, angles, etc., affect the way a horse will move. Until now, thissubject has been a mystery for most people even many farriers don't really understand thedynamics of gait shoeing. This will enable gaited horse owners to offer sound counsel.
