All About Single-Footing Horses

Single-Footing" refers to a horse's even timed, four-beat gait, also known as "Racking" or "The Largo". A true Single-Footing horse moves with one foot on the ground at a time, maintaining smooth and consistent movement from a relaxed trail gait to a high-speed single-foot gait.

Single-Footing horses are remarkable for their broad range of speed while staying smooth. These horses can reach speeds of 20 mph or more, providing an exhilarating and comfortable ride.

Historically, Single-Footing horses were bred for work, trail riding, and pulling family buggies, unlike other gaited horses bred for show. They have remained true to their heritage, maintaining practical and versatile qualities.
