Q1. What is a gaited horse?

A gaited horse is simply a horse that moves each leg independently or says has “independent footfall.” This means that one hoof is always in contact with the ground. This leads to better conservation of energy, which leads to endurance and stamina building.

Q2. What is gaited vs trotting?

In trotting there is a movement of a pair of diagonally opposite legs while in gaited pairs of front or rear legs move together.

Q3. Are gaited horses slow?

Gaited horses aren’t the fastest among horse breeds but have a decent speed. These are faster than a walk but slower than the canter or gallop of other horses. With enough training, these horses can also achieve a canter. But the non-gaited horses prove to be faster than the gaited ones.

Q4. What are the best-gaited horse breeds?

Most advised gaited breeds include Paso fino, American saddlebred, Iceland horse, and Tennessee walking horse. These are well-known breeds with characteristic gait divisions and walking patterns.
