Get on in shorts bareback. If your crotch hurts when you get off, or if you can't carry a water bottle with you because it sloshes all over, then no, your horse does not have a smooth walk.
To be more scientific about this, the slope of the shoulder blade can tell you. The steeper the slope, the less smooth it will be. Also take a look at the fetlock, the thing below the pastern and above the hoof. If those are almost straight up, it will be uncomfortable, and whereas more flat will be smoother.

∙ 13y agoFrom my experience, Tennessee Walkers have very smooth walks as a general rule, and many other gaited breeds do too. But, what matters more than breed is the conformation. A nice sloping shoulder and a long sloping pastern (but not too long-too long and steep pasterned horses are hard to keep sound) make for a smooth ride.
