Gaits of Gold clearly explains and illustrates everything a person could possibly want to know about naturally gaited horses. It carefully explains all the gaits, and demonstrates how they're related to one another, and to the conformation of the horse. It then shows what to look for in a gaited horse as well as what to look out for. It takes the reader through 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 to horses that tend to pace, another to those that prefer to trot. There's a chapter devoted to the topic of correctly fitting bit and saddle, and shoeing for gait. The latter clearly and concisely demonstrates how certain weights, angles, etc., affect the way a horse will move. Until now, this subject has been a mystery for most people even many farriers don't really understand the dynamics of gait shoeing. This will enable gaited horse owners to offer sound counsel.
From the Inside Flap
One of the great things about gaited horses is that they are easy, right? Well. . .sort of. They're easy once you learn how to bring out their natural talents. Like most worthwhile endeavors in life, to get the most pleasure out of gaited riding, you need to learn a few basic techniques.
Until now there's been little reliable information out there for those with a need and a desire to learn. We just worked on our horses using trial and error methods, often erring, and causing us as well as our horses many trials!
That's no longer a problem. Gaits of Gold will teach you everything you need to know to begin enjoying that gaited horse even if you're about ready to give up! You just might find that your horse is really a jewel in the rough, waiting for his talents to be discovered, shined up, and smoo- o-oothed out!
