About this title

Synopsis

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.
