GAITED Meaning and Definition

1. Gaited is an adjective used to describe a particular type of walking or moving pattern in horses. A horse with a gaited manner of movement typically exhibits a specific and distinctive set of footfalls when it walks, trots, or runs. These horses have inherited a natural ability to perform alternative gaits that are different from the standard walk, trot, and canter.

   The most common type of gaited horse is the "single-footed" variety, which is known for its smooth and continuous gait called the "single-foot." Unlike the typical trot or canter, this gait involves having at least one foot touching the ground at all times, resulting in a very comfortable and steady ride for the rider. Other gaited breeds include the Tennessee Walking Horse, the Paso Fino, the Icelandic Horse, and many more.

   Gaited horses are often favored by riders for their exceptionally smooth, even, and comfortable gaits. These horses are known for their natural athleticism, balance, and versatility. Because of their unique gaits, they are often sought after for trail riding, long-distance journeys, and by riders who may have back or joint issues.

   Gaited horses are typically recognized for their unique ability to perform these alternative gaits naturally, without additional training or artificial aides. Their gaited movement has been selectively bred for generations, resulting in a distinct and desirable characteristic among these horse breeds.
