Rockies don’t trot. At least I’ve never seen one do it. Their 4-beat gaits are natural.

Not at all natural. Like to see how its been shod….!!

It doesn’t seem like this is a gait that a farmer would want ride. I don’t think it is a preferred gait for pulling a plow either. Not a typical trail gait. Way to high stepped. Doesn’t look natural. Probably what is seen in the show ring.

He is 5 years old and hasnt been worked much but is a sweet heart. I’m looking for someone in the Greensboro,NC area to help me with proper training and riding lessons.
