Re: [RC] What can you tell me about Tennessee Walkers and other gaited breeds? - Milinda EllisKaren, I have Tennessee Walkers in addition to Cleveland Bays. When I ride a Walker with a non-gaited horse, the non-gaited have to work harder to keep up. Your husband might be able to ride at a walk while you trot -- there is that much stride difference. When going on conditioning rides, my experience is that the non-gaited just has to work harder to keep up. Watch *your* horse very closely. It will be interesting to see how the TWHxCBs travel in relation to other breeds... The first one is in training now... y'all better watch out.

I am currently looking for a trail horse for my husband. I've been seeing some ads for some very nice-sounding walkers and other gaited horses. I am not that familiar with the gaited breeds, and would like to get some general information about them. My husband does not plan on doing any competitive rides, but will hack out with me on some of my conditioning rides. I thought a gaited horse might be nice because I could do the majority of my ride at the trot for conditioning purposes and he could just comfortably gait along. Is that a safe assumption? My horse is a little Morgan mare - when she is well conditioned, will she have any problems keeping up with a gaited horse? Any comments/opinions are welcome.
