We typically ride "gaited" horses. A horse's gait is the type of walk or sometmes considered speed that it has. Most horses have 3 natural gaits, a slow walk, the trot, and canter (or gallop).  "Gaited" horse breeds have an extra gait, or two. There are a handful of gaited horse breeds. We typically use the following: the Tennesee Walking Horse, Missouri Fox Trotter, and Rocky Mountain Horse.
