Devine Gaits Farm Lessons * Leasing * Training for Gaited Horses and Humans embracing dressage, driving, pleasure & competitive trail.

Established in 2007 Devine Gaits Farm serves the equine community by being a part of the solution of two growing problems in the equine industry today..........
1) Unwanted horses that end up at auctions and Equine Rescue Farms.
2) Unsound and inhumane training practices inflicted unnecessarily on horses, particularly the Tennessee Walking Horse. Our part in the solution is providing an affordable

education about responsible horsemanship and sound training practices of the gaited horse. Our hope is that by making the education affordable and fun more people will be able to
* learn what they need to know prior to purchasing a horse
* choose an appropriate horse for their skill level and personality that they can grow with
* work out issues with their equine partner for those who already own

Our introduction of the equine enthusiast to the "ride of their life" on our naturally smooth gaited and versatile Tennessee Walking Horses will help to ensure that newcomers to the gaited horse will learn through their experience that neither action devices or harsh training methods are required and are actually counterproductive. We hope to further assist the Tennessee Walking Horse and all gaited breeds by offering lessons for the Gaited Horse Owner who wants to be their equine friend's trainer. This offers an economical alternative to sending their horse off to a trainer. Training the owner to train their horse in a humane and sound manner helps the team to learn and grow together. We believe the equestrian experience is therapeutic and promotes overall physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. In turn, we believe the human experience should return the favor!

Lipizzan horses, renowned for their elegance and strength, are famed for their remarkable ability to perform high-level dressage movements, including the extraordinary "airs above the ground." One of the most impressive maneuvers in their repertoire is the "Levade," where the horse balances on its hind legs, lifting its forelegs off the ground in a controlled and graceful manner. This move requires exceptional strength, balance, and training, showcasing the Lipizzan's power and poise. Originating from the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, these horses have been bred and trained for centuries to master such complex movements, reflecting their superior athleticism and the deep bond between horse and rider.

A 72-Year-Old Man Triumphs in the World's Toughest Horse Race – 100 Miles in a Single Day!

This achievement is truly remarkable. The Tevis Cup stands as the most challenging 100-mile endurance event globally, where many participants struggle to complete the course in a single day. At the age of 72, Potato Richardson, alongside his 14-year-old Arabian mare, SMR Filouette (Gandhy Dancer x Fille de Cailana), emerged victorious, surpassing five previous champions and two former winning horses.

Many might have assumed that this individual had already experienced the peak of his equestrian pursuits; however, he has demonstrated that age is no barrier to exceptional horsemanship. He has a deep connection to his mare, having owned both her mother and grandmother. His meticulous planning over several years culminated in this momentous competition. When the day arrived, he approached it with a vigor and determination that seemed innate. His extensive experience and insight should not be overlooked.

"I simply rode with greater intelligence," remarked Potato Richardson at the age of 72.

In many sports, aging often leads to a decline in performance. However, in the realm of equestrianism, experience tends to enhance our abilities as we grow older. My utmost respect goes to him.

Trainer - What day is it?
Student - 😡
Trainer - I kept asking you the same question and you gave me the right answer, but I didn’t accept it, so you changed your answer, got frustrated and confused.
This is exactly how your horse can feel if you miss the release…
