If you are new to gaited horses or just need a simple visual to explain the complex world of gaits, here is a graphic I created to help! These are terms I use to help my clients understand gait. Please note that you may hear different terminology from different trainers!

Your horse's ability to gait depends on a variety of factors, but the biggest at play are genetics and conditioning/training. Lots of people get hung up on breed and what gait they are "supposed" to be doing. What we should really all be striving for is to achieve a comfortable gait for both you and your horse.

Where does your horse fall on this chart?

Omg what a Daaay Abbott and I had today at Elk Hill. Went out to ride with some friends, thought we'd be out for a couple hours.... Well we got super lost. We ended up riding 20 miles and were out for 6 hours!!! Abbott rode past dirt bikes, loggers, a caravan of ORVs (one guy handed me a beer), tons of cars, in one a**hole truck that tried to run our group off the road. It was quite the adventure, and as always, Abbott rocked it!

❄️🔥 Temperature Matters!⁠
Your pasture’s sugar levels rise and fall depending on the weather:⁠
✔️ Below 5°C at night? Sugar levels stay high.⁠
✔️ Above 32–40°C? Grass becomes stressed, raising sugar again.⁠
⁠
Knowing when pasture is safe to graze can make a big difference for at-risk horses.⁠

Welcome

CK Horse Training and Consulting is just the formal designation for my passion: helping people experience the world from the back of a horse.

While there are many equine disciplines, my interest and experience is trail riding and camping. There is nothing that enriches my soul more than being in nature with my horse. Whether we’re exploring new trails, experiencing breath-taking views, or tackling difficult terrain, there is always a sense of awe and accomplishment. Being an independent horseman or woman is empowering, and I want others to tap into this feeling!
