Easy-Gaited Horses: Gentle, Humane Methods for Training and Riding Gaited Pleasure Horses

by Lee Ziegler, Rhonda Hart Poe (Foreword)

Enjoy a comfortable long-distance ride on a well-trained gaited horse and you’ll be surprised at how easygoing these handsome animals can be. But unique challenges can arise when horse owners more familiar with the standard walk, trot, and canter try to train these complex and multigeared horses to gait correctly. Author Lee Ziegler guides riders through the finer points of developing and maintaining these extra gaits, using humane training methods that stress patience and good horsemanship.
