Need a Smooth Trail Horse? A gaited horse could be just what you're looking for! Paradise Stables has Mountain Horses for sale! Check them out on our website!
Gaited horses are great for someone coming back to riding, just learning to ride, or who just wants to spend hours on the trail. T ere is no posting or bouncing on gaited horses, making them the horse of choice for anyone with a bad back, throbbing shoulders or achey ankles. With their calm and willing temperaments, they are easier to learn to ride, and perfect for people who only ride once a week or once a month.
Got a gaited horse? Looking to have him schooled or trained more? Ask us about our gaited horse training and exercise programs - wouldn't your horse like to be in Paradise?
