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).
What is the difference between a run and a gallop in a gaited horse eg an American Saddlebred?
There is no difference. The only difference is in the name. A saddlebred has six gaits. They call it five gaited because when these horses show, they only show in five of the gaits (everything but the gallop/run). The gaits are as followed from fastest to slowest: Walk Trot Canter Slow Gait Rack Gallop I hope this answers your question!
Which kind of riding demands perfection riding in an upright position with a strong curvature of the haunches regularity skill and finesse in all of the natural gaits in dressage?
I think it is Campagne Riding:) Saying "I think it is" makes people wonder if it is or not and makes them wonder if your wrong or something because your saying "I think it is". Next time you answer a question don't use "I think it is" or people will think that your not really sure if it is or not!
What can the horse do?
Horses can be trained to do many things. It depends if you mean training for regular riding or just tricks. Horses can be trained to smile, bow, rear up, lay down, barel race, jump, and much more. It depends on the horse's attitude of how easy it will be to train them for any thing. It takes time, but in the end it's all worth it.

How do you train your horse to gait?
If you are speaking of gaits like the Fox Trot and Running walk you will need a specific breed of horse as these gaits cannot be taught to ungaited horses. Also the term gaited is not really correct as all horses have gaits, but the term 'easy Gaited' is correct for horses possessing extra gaits and is becoming much more popular a term.

What are the gaits of horseback riding?
Walk - a four beat gait. The horse will be going at its slowest and when it lifts one foot the other three should be on the ground. Trot - a two beat gait. The horse will have two feet on and two feet off the ground. In a diagonal pattern. So if its front right is off the ground so is its back left. Canter - a three beat gait. The horse will be going slower then a gallop but faster then a trot. Gallop - a four beat gait. This gait is similar to the canter but it is much faster. You see Kentucky Derby races horses going at this pace.

What is an appropriate way to use a whip or crop on a horse that refuses to move?
---- * You should always use a crop behind your leg, never on the shoulder. The crop is meant to be an extension of your leg, so it should be used right behind it. * Your progression of force should be voice and leg together, kick and then whip. I find it also helpful to use the crop in conjunction with your voice, then you can slowly ween off the crop and replace it with your voice. Then work on using your voice and leg and weening off your voice. It is never good to just whip or kick a horse, this will not teach them what the proper response is, just to fear a sudden punishment. * Work on anticipating what is actually causing your horse to have these problems. If you know that he will progressively slow before a jump, ride more strongly out of the turn instead of waiting for him to slow. If he always slows in a certain corner, ask for a movement right before it to get his focus on you. Look at why you are needing the crop before you go straight to using it. This will also be helpful if you plan on showing, where hitting your horse with a crop will surely get you out of the ribbons. * The crop is a painless way of getting your horse to wake up, but should only be used if necessary to get the horse moving. It is only an aid, and should not be used all the time, just when your horse is refusing. Whipping is a way of telling a horse you're in charge if it is being stubborn. The whip should lie dormant when not being used, held beside the saddle, on the inside rein (nearest to the centre of the arena you're riding in.) Use it by giving your horse a light tap on the rump, and if it does not listen, harder. Kick and co-ordinate as you do so and your horse should ride along smoothly. * Never HIT your horse with the crop or whip. Just tap them enough to get their attention. Never actually hit them hard enough to cause pain.
