Lol, you asked for it!

My Rocky Mountain Horse is gaited. He does,(or will once he's under saddle)a 4 beat lateral gait. I have a seriously bad back and the gaited horses enable me to ride where I probably couldn't as much on a trotting horse. It's a relatively new breed, registry has only been around a few decades and they're still considered rare. Medium size/boned, very intelligent breed. Jacks mother was technically a gaited Morgan but was registered before the books closed because she fit the criteria. He's bay w/not a single white spot anywhere, and strangely enough bay is a rare color in Rocky Mountain Horses. I plan to do some showing w/him, he has excellent conformation for the breed and loves to be the center of attention, and also do a lot of trail riding. If he turns out to have some good speed I'd love to try gaited barrels or pole bending but that will depend on him. I'll try to add a short vid of him but he's not gaiting in it, it's hard to get them to gait on a lunge.
