Dressage Demonstration with a Gaited Horse

By Jennifer Klitzke

In 2011, my seven-year-old naturally gaited Tennessee Walking Horse and I were invited to a non-gaited dressage ride-a-test clinic. We were asked to demonstrate how dressage benefits naturally gaited horses. We showed walk, flat walk, running walk and canter. No trot.

Dressage improves the quality of gaits whether the horse naturally trots, tolts, fox trots, or flat walks. Dressage is more than trot!
