Videos

This section contains links to various gaited horse videos available on the internet. Most of them are short snippets, but they should still give you an impression of the breed and the differences between the various breeds. I have also included a list of commercially available vidoes - for those of you who want to see more ;-)

PasoPedigree.com
The discussion board of this excellent Paso Fino site in the US sports a few videos taken by board members, a lot of them from Spectrum 2005, probably one of the biggest Paso Fino shows in the US. Unfortunately, the videos mainly show one gait of the Paso Fino, namely classic fino. While this gait is definitely spectacular and fascinating to watch, I'd consider it a pure show gait that certainly does not reflect the versatility of the Paso Fino. Hopefully there'll be some more videos of pleasure and performance horses on that site soon...

Peruvian Digest
There are not a lot of Peruvian Paso videos on the internet, and the ones that I found are of rather poor quality. Still, they quite nicely show what a Peruvian in motion looks like... Just click on any of the little camera icons on the web page below!

Gangpferdezentrum Aegidienberg
Gangpferdezentrum Aegidienberg is a famous gaited horse stud and training center in Germany, owned by Walter Feldmann and his wife. Feldmann's background is mainly in Icelandic horses (which is reflected in his riding style), but in recent years the stud has ventured into other breeds. Walter Feldmann Sen., one of the great gaited horsemen in Europe who unfortunately died last year, is the 'creator' of the Aegidienberger, a 5/8 cross between Icelandic horse and Peruvian Paso.
Under the heading 'Verkaufspferde' (horses for sale) and 'Hengste' (stallions) you will find descriptions of the various horses (in German) as well as videos. Most videos are of Icelandics or Aegidienbergers, with the odd trotting horse (the European equivalent of a Standardbred trotter) or Paso in between. Even if you don't understand the comments - the videos are well worth watching!

Tennessee Walking Horse Association
The TWHA has got a few promotional videos on their web page showing flat walk, running walk and rocking chair canter of both flat shod and performance shod Tennessee Walking Horses. Make sure you watch both 'flavours' - it makes for quite an interesting comparison!

American Saddlebred.com
Under the heading 'study of gaits' you will find a couple of videos of American Saddlebreds, including in rack and slow gait.

Missouri Foxtrotter News

Although the Missouri Foxtrotter is not represented in Australia (yet) I thought it might be quite interesting to include a breed with diagonal four-beat, since in most other breeds an even four-beat is the gait of choice.
