How did the racking horse get its name?
The racking horse is similar to the Tennessee Walking Horse; it has a smooth, natural gait, is very strong, and has the ability to sustain a rapid pace for long periods of time. The origins of the Racking Horse date back to the birth of our nation. The horse's popularity grew on Southern plantations when it was learned that it could be ridden comfortably for hours. The "rack" of the Racking Horse is a bi-lateral four-beat gait which is neither a pace nor a trot. It is often called a "single-foot" because only one foot strikes the ground at a time. The Racking Horse comes by this gait as naturally as walking or striking a bond trot comes to other breeds. This horse is not to be confused with other breeds in which the "rack" is an artificially achieved gait resulting from special training. Beginning riders find that the Racking Horse is a great horse to use when learning to ride, not only for its extremely comfortable ride, but also because of its unusual friendliness to humans. The Racking Horse is attractive and gracefully built with a long sloping neck, full flanks, wellboned, smooth legs and finely textured hair. The Racking Horse is considered a "light" horse in comparision with other breeds, averaging 15.2 hands high (a "hand" is considered to be four inches) and weighing 1,000 pounds. Colors may be black, bay, sorrel, chestnut, brown, gray, yellow and sometimes even spotted.

How long does it take to ride a horse 13 miles?
Well the time it takes to travel 13 miles will depend on what gait and speed the horse is moving at. A typical walk is about 4 MPH which means the horse would take 3.25 hours to cover that distance. However a horses prime travelling gait is the trot which can be anywhere from 5 to 7 MPH (Racing trotter can reach 35mph). So it would take 2.6 to 1.85 hours to cover that distance. The faster gaits of Canter and gallop typically cannot be sustained for more than a couple of miles and thus would not be used to cover that amount of distance.

What is a gated horse?
A gaited horse is a horse that displays a gait other than the normal "four" gaits. The average horse is able to perform four distinct gaits:Walk: a 4 beat gait where each foot hits the ground at a distinct point. (Front left, back right, front right, back left)Trot/Jog: a 2 beat gait where the opposite feet hit at the same time (Front left + back right, front right + back left)Canter/Lope: a 3 beat gait where one side leads (Back right, front right + back left, front left)Gallop: a 4 beat gait faster than the canter where all four feet hit a distinct point and there is a moment when all 4 feet are off the ground.So a gaited horse has other gaits as well. The most common is probably the pace (seen in Missouri Fox Trotters, Tennessee Walking Horses, and others). This can be as slow as a jog and as fast as a canter. It is when the front leg and back leg on the same side move together. When ridden, it feels like you are swaying back and forwarth, very smooth.Some other gaits are the running walk, the rack (Saddlebreds and such), the tolt (Icelandics).
