Hey friends! Come on a ride with me and Abbott!

Though I've ridden Abbott solo several times, this was the first time we trailered to a trailhead to ride solo. He was perfection!

Listen with audio for commentary!

I'm really pleased with Abbott's weight going into winter. He's been a hard keeper but he's made gains. He also is getting a nice winter coat!

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?

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!
