I have a miniature horse that definitely prefers gaiting when in harness. He also trots and canters but has a definite saddle rack or singlefoot gait, and he is quite happy doing it and actually seems to prefer it when harnessed and pulling his cart.
No Friesian horses are not born gaited.
Tolter or natural tolter refers to horses that naturally are gaited. Gaited horses come in 2 different types, 3 and 5 gaited. The word tolter seems to be used in reference to the Icelandic Horse which is a 3 gaited horse.
Yes, you can. Non-gaited horses can only go the four basic gaits, walk, trot, canter, and gallop. Gaited horses are horses that can do other special gaits, such as the pace, or the tolt. Only certain breeds do that.
the types of horses that does not "need" to trot is a palomino, Tennessee walking horses, standardbreds, American saddlebreds, rocky mountain horses, and many more of the "gaited" types of horses.aka gaited is racking and pacing horsesi would kno these things because i have gaited horses.
Surprisingly, many horses with natural gaits can gallop! But excessive galloping is never a good idea. Different gaited horses have different levels of efficiency when galloping. Riders of gaited horses frequently discover that cantering is both more pleasurable and healthy for the horse. Please visit this link: gaitedhorsemarketplace .com/

Saddle breds, Morgans and Hackneys are some good 5 gaited horses.
srry but gaited horses do not need to canter they walk rack or pace or that's how we do it Kentucky

Yes, with proper training and care gaited horses can jump. When you have people who say gaited horses can't jump, what they are basically saying is that "no, a horse can't jump." which is false. Horses need basics to survive (aside from food, water, shelter, ect.) they need strength and agility without that horses won't be able to survive at all. Jumping is one of those instincts horses do. If a horse can't jump in the wild, especially if its getting chased by a predator and there's a log in the way, then the horse would stop and it will die. Horses have agility and yes THEY CAN JUMP. Don't let people fool you because jumping is one of many horse natural abilities. However, you need to train gaited horses before you go all crazy, remember that gaited horses don't have the same muscles as non-gaited horses do, just do some training and hire a trainer to help you. ALL horses can jump the trainer and the rider just need to put their heart into it.
gaited horses have a certain way they move their feet (the gait) that usually makes the ride extremely smooth and its a lot faster than the quarter horses gait, they also have a lot of endurance and can go long distances at faster speeds than a QH
I work with miniature horses and they pretty much act lik normal sized horses
