Foxtrotting Horse Videos!
The video clips below may take up to 10 minutes each to load on a dial-up connection. I have divided them up into several groups. The first group will show you the "trail gaits" of the foxtrotting horse. The next group shows the modern show gaits, followed by pages that have side by side comparisons! Next you can view gaits by other breeds of gaited horses and even some mules and a gaited jack. Enjoy!
(If you have problems viewing the videos please follow the instructions at the bottom of this page.)
