SHE'S NICE BIG HIGH RACK

IMHO standardbreds off the track are awesome and very underrated.

I am also a Saddlebred person. I never saw the great Wing Commander in action, but I have been told by people who did see him show that nothing could come close to his speed and style at the rack and trot. Most of the Saddlebreds of today could not rack with this mare.

I assume it's just like any other pace? Not a hundred percent sure to be honest

Well, the main concern is overreach, where the horse (esp. when tired) can get careless and hit its front hooves w/ its hind hooves. Hence the "overreach boots" on the front legs. Over a long career they seem to end up with stifle problems more than anything else.

If I’m not mistaken, she’s wearing a hackamore in at least one of the action scenes…it looks like a long shanked curb but the pivot point is too far back to be a bit, so I’m guessing hackamore. If so, I would say it’s a pretty gentle one as high up as the noseband sits. Hard to tell though with as fast as she’s moving! I, too, was a little taken aback by the “seat” of the rider!

Always someone who has never gaited a horse giving advice on how to ride one.

@@lareemcra347 You know you're free to give criticism right? I was just trying to give advice. I don't know too much about racking horses, but his seating does look a bit off. If there's any advice you can give me then you may.

@@staceyevans2315 It's completely different from saddle seat, hunt seat, or dressage. Because of the motion of the horse, the rider assumes more of a "feet on the dashboard" posture if the horse does not require and leg pressure to keep him up on the bit. To teach the gait to a horse that naturally trots, the trainer usually must put the horse in an unnatural and ugly looking form which is then gradually changed back to proper form once the gait becomes muscle memory. The old trainers called it "turning one upside down". I showed 5 gaited saddlebreds for years and have owned all most all breeds of naturally gaited horses too. Real naturally gaited ones will do a pretty even (not syncopated) 4 beat gait on a loose rein, no collection needed. With a trained trotter you use your reins, voice, legs and body weight to cue up the rack and you must maintain collection. With a pacer I never had much luck but it can be done.

@@lareemcra347 Thank you for informing me, and not acting rude. I'll keep this in mind for the future.

Sugar Cookie One look at her would have been enough for me!

I've been gaiting horses about 70 years and I still can't explain how I do it. But if it can trot, it can rack, gait, singlefoot, or whatever you want to call it.

Janet McNeil she is currently not for sale. Thanks for asking though.

The most I could give is to not use abusive practices. Such as pull on the bit, whip the horse etc. Just take the training slow and make sure your horse understands what you want them to do. While respecting them at the same time.

Not natural at all.

@@avabaldwin3749 its completely natural lol its a gaited horse racking

She’s a roan, it runs in some lines of Standardbred

Reginald Bracey so how do you train them to walk like that I mean what do you use

Reginald Bracey, Mustangs and AQH DO NOT SINGLE FOOT! This gait is called a rack, and mustangs And AQH trot. Sorry 😐 it ain't the same thing. :')

Also ... an 18 hand Mustang lol

lol you guys have no idea what you are talking about. guess I'll have to post a video. just because you guys can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done and I know aqha horses naturally run,trot,canter. my mustang doesn't travel as fast as the horses but she does the fox trot and speed rack quite well.

I train them with two leg hobblers to get the concept one down at a time. and we work the hobblers in the round pin until he starts to work them very well it won't be pretty at first but if you take them slow they will get it then the rest is just riding and correcting the horses steps

Rob way she is currently not for sale. Thanks!

do yall still have the saddlebred stallion for sale ? if so 3185161755

For the right. price ,of course

Where does it say she is for sale? I must have missed that ... besides what if the two horses you are offering are nags? Why would they take them?

MrLonglongtime Really?? Good luck with that!

Don't be stupid, Imca.

Actually, many horses are naturally "gaited" - they used to be very popular before cars as gaited horses are very smooth to ride.

I have a TWH, that switches back and forth between trotting and gaiting. He is barefoot and does this out in the pasture, according to his mood. Nobody had to train him to do this.

Imca vdB Please educate yourself before you accuse someone of torture! 😡

City folk and the like do not have a clue...
