IMO, yes it is. Although on the first pass, he was cheating on you, by hoping with the back legs. It seemed to me that you need to slow him down and bit and try to gain more collection when he does this. On the second pass, he was doing much better, he was going a bit slower then. Wonderful looking horse!tu1

She looked great!! Yes things can spook them and throw them off stride. You have done a very good job with her. Keep up the good work.

I'm not a gait expert either, but I do think it is a rack. It's definitely a lateral gait. Sometimes the footfall is hard to see, but I also look at a few other things like what the head and tail are doing. If I remember what I read in Lee Ziegler's "Easy Gaited Horses" correctly, the running walk should have some up and down head movement and a still tail. The rack should have a still head or a very slight side to side movement and an up and down movement of the tail which is what you have here. Jim

This is a growing debate where i live it's gaited bring a non gained horse and immediately you hear how hard the horse is to ride,but i have no problem with non-gained horses Iove them.I've rode the gaited horses just to see.honestly the smoothness yes was easier flowing but as fas as actually"riding" the horse i found it the same.i've seen serval people used to riding gaited go to noon gaited and they are all over the place on the horse.I may not have worde this very well.

Hey, I have gaited and non gaited horses. Folks who have non gaiters love their horses exactly as much as you do. Settle down. The reason non gaiters dislilke gaiters, is that we are comfortable on gaiters at greater speed than the nons can go. So they trot, and learn to dislike gaited equestrians. Gaited horses know how to walk, it is rude riders, not gaited horses that are the offenders in this situation. Be responsible with your gaiter, and your bragging. That's not the way to get their respect. For them to appreciate your gaiter, you must only go as fast as the non gaited horses. To do otherwise is rude. Leaving them in the dust is very inappropriate and we who are responsible, (that means all you awesome great gaited horse folks) will do our best, by example and assist the less enlightened gracefully, and appropriately, so everyone involved, even non gaiters, see how great your horse is. Gaitors can lallygag and have just as much fun hanging out with the nons. We are for the horse.

The rack should have a still head or a very slight side to side movement and an up and down movement of the tail which is what you have here. If a horse is ridden at the rack in the manner Lee suggested, it will become hollow backed. It is entirely possible - and advisable - to ride in a more collected frame at the rack. Lee was of the 'old school' in this. Most of my horses can rack on cue (with a couple of fox-trotting exceptions), and unless I'm gaiting full out (rare), they always have vertical flexion and head action up and down. PB

Not a rack, but a nice stepping pace. Sure wouldn't try and fix it. The horse is strung out a bit too much. A little more collection and you'd find the gait would most likely be a lot smoother. A milder bit would be worth trying. The horse is avoiding the bit. A milder bit, possibly with more tongue relieve, would be worth trying. A racking horse can not do a true rack unless there is some side to side movement of the head, unless someone has gone to a lot of effort to teach the horse to do it artificially.
