Racking Horse
Racking horse is but the most
beautiful and versatile breed. First, it is renowned for its specific gait,
characterized by a peculiar walk, when only one hoof touches the ground at equal
intervals. The foundation of the Racking Horse Breeder's Association in 1971
perpetuated this intelligent, laborious and energetic horse. The beautiful
qualities of this horse won the hearts of dwellers of southern plantations back
in pre-war times.
Rocky Mountain Horse
Rocky Mountain Horses
appeared in eastern Kentucky, and they attracted local farmers by their gentle
disposition and ambling gait. These horses step on each foot separately,
producing an even and rhythmic beat. This walk occurs naturally and is never a
result of training. Rocky Mountain Horses are well accustomed to severe climatic
conditions, and they can withstand cold better than other horses. All Rocky
Mountain Horses must be solid-colored.
