Editorial Reviews: Product Description For more than 30 years, Lee Ziegler has been one of the foremost advocates of gaited horses in North America and Europe. Through her writing and in her clinics, she has introduced countless riders to the pleasures of riding a horse that is calm, obedient, relaxed, alert, sure-footed, easily maneuvered, and consistent in his gait. Now, in Easy-Gaited Horses, Ziegler offers a comprehensive guide to riding and training gaited pleasure horses. And unlike the old methods that called for manipulation of a horse's hooves or other gimmicks that could be cruel, Ziegler offers training methods that are gentle, humane, and produce a gaited horse that can be ridden in his gait barefoot, trimmed to his natural angles, with a mild bit, or even without one. Ziegler begins by defining various types of gaits, explaining how they look to an observer and how they feel to the rider. Next, adopting a whole-body approach to training, she reveals the importance of understanding equine anatomy. She then discusses how to introduce the horse to a variety of gaits: the ordinary walk, the flat walk, the fox trot, the running walk, the saddle rack, and the canter. She explains how to ride a multi-gaited horse, how to handle gait problems, and even how to retrain an easy-gaited show horse for pleasure riding. Ziegler also discusses how to train gaited foals and colts and explains what preparation is necessary before taking the young horse on his first ride. As riders grow older, comfort on horseback becomes more of an issue. That's where easy-gaited horses step in. Their unique, smooth gaits allow riders to enjoy time in the saddle with minimal physical exertion.

Well written by an awesome woman who was an advocate & true friend of the naturally gaited horse. Awesome June 9, 2008 A must for all owners of gaited horses. Very knowledgeable and great info on all the gaits. This book and Breda Imus's "Gaits of Gold" helped me tremendously. If you are having trouble fiding the gait, this book will help you. Easy-Gaited Horses June 1, 2008 This is a wonderful book on gaited horses. If your learning to ride or train gaited horses, this is the book for you. Very helpful book! April 10, 2008 A 5 yo Missouri fox trotter (my first ever gaited horse) came into our "herd" not quite three weeks ago. I've already learned a lot about how to work w/ him. The book is very helpful in learning some of the differences (from non-gaited) as well as how to humanely get the most from the innate abilities of a gaited horse. THE Bible for gaited horse enthusiasts March 30, 2008 I LOVE this book. Lee Z. (may she R.I.P.) did the gaited horse world a huge favor by writing this. She explains the mechanics of the various gaits in terms that virtually anyone can understand, and follows it with advice for enhancing and improving the gaits that your horse was built to perform. It is a must have for anyone who owns a gaited breed. I recommend it to all of my gaited horse clients. TWH's are my gaited breed of choice, but I recently adopted an OT STB that I thought had gaiting potential. Lee's book helped me to start this wonderful horse under saddle and she is well on her way to giving me an incredible saddle rack that should turn into a speed rack. This book is a phenomenal resource that I highly recommend.
