What is a Gaited Horse?
A gaited horse refers to a horse that has one or more additional gaits beside walk, trot, canter and gallop. They are usually extremely smooth to ride and very comfortable. Standardbred's have another gait called the Pace but they are not generally considered a Gaited Horse as they are not typically ridden as such, but they can actually be taught to amble.
Look closely at the Gaited Horse Spectrum designed by Liselle Silver above to see the Tolt and Flying Pace that are special gaits of the Icelandic Horse.

New Zealand's Icelandic Horse Studs
This website is a work in progress. Please reach out to correct and update information. We would like to feature great educational videos, photos of real horses proving their versatility and strengths, accurate preservation status numbers, news on the breeds from NZ and overseas, up to date contacts, links to websites, registries and associated entities for the breeds and more. In some instances placeholder or international images have been used where some nice local horses could be, we use what we can find at the time (hopefully without getting in trouble). We appreciate images supplied if you have any New Zealand based images.
