So you want to buy a gaited horse? Let us help you through one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. One of the best things you can do is to take some lessons on a gaited school master, this is a horse that will teach you and takes care of his new rider. This will enable you to make an informed decision about what gait is best for you. Most people find that they favor one type of four beat gait over another. This will be a great advantage for you to understand what is comfortable for you as you begin your search for your next best friend. It is the rare five year old that is perfectly set in his gaits and timing. If this is your very first gaited horse, you want one that doesn't require daily schooling to maintain gait. Unfinished gaited horses often require the skills of a trainer to develop and keep them in proper cadence. It can take years of consistent training for a horse to develop the muscle groups to maintain gait. If they are registered you have a better chance of getting gait, because they have been bred for this. This is not to say you can't get gait out of a horse that paces or trots if they are truly a gaited horse. When Buying your first Gaited Horse look for Mature, and as Finished as your pocketbook will allow. Registered or not, I personally go for the registered horse, because you are able to research their past and will be able to ask questions of your riding instructor about different horses in their pedigree. An adult horse with several years under saddle and set in their gaits is a better choice and a much smoother beginning for the rider just starting out. Do consider purchasing a sound horse in good health in his teenage years. Older horses can often be more forgiving and can provide years of pleasure. Many times the horse that has been well cared for by a single owner over a long period of time is a great prospect. Do you get a Vet. check or not? I say yes to the Vet. check this is a big investment and unless you buy and sell horses, this is the horse you have bought for many years of pleasure. It is a good idea to have them checked for lyme disease, if a horse had has this for a while and their count is high you are going to spend up to a thousand dollars treating and they may have issues you don't know about. My Promise to my HorsesI will see that he has everyday plenty of clean water and hay,
