This is why I ❤️❤️❤️ riding Saddlebreds! It is an adrenaline rush like no other!

What does it feel like to ride a Saddlebred? 🔥 You might be the one cheering next to the ring who has not yet taken the leap so we have compiled some insights on each gait so you know what to expect when you, yourself finally get in the saddle.

❤️Walk – Rhythmic
The Saddlebred walk is smooth and deliberate, with an elegant head carriage and a soft sway that feels like a gentle swing. It's the calm before the storm — a preview of what's to come. When you enter into the show walk, it’s important to make you middle area soft and simple embrace and go with your horse.

❤️Trot – Electric and Crisp
Not your average trot. The Saddlebred’s trot is high-stepping and expressive, with each leg lifting proudly. As a rider, you feel lifted and energized — like you're riding a heartbeat with wings.

❤️Canter – Rolling and Rhythmic
The canter is a three-beat gait that feels like floating on a wave. It’s smooth, collected, and powerful — a perfect blend of control and freedom. Many say it's the most comfortable canter you'll ever ride.

❤️Slow Gait – Glide and Glide Again
Now we enter the four-beat world. The slow gait is silky and deliberate — each hoof moves separately in a sequence that feels like you're sliding forward on velvet. It's smooth enough to sip coffee in the saddle (though we don't recommend trying!).

❤️Rack – Exhilarating and Addictive
The rack is where the magic happens. This fast four-beat gait gives you the feeling of flying — but without ever leaving the ground. It’s high-speed elegance, with minimal bounce. Riders often describe it as “pure joy in motion.”

This. It is an absolute truth. We have all been there. Unfortunately, horse showing can be subjective.

However, if you focus on your goals with your horse in the show ring, it does make a huge difference.

⭐️Maybe your progress feels slow.
Maybe you’re watching others pass milestones you’re still dreaming of.
Maybe you’re stuck in the season of groundwork — where the results aren’t obvious, but the effort is real.

✨But here’s the truth:
✨You’re not late.
✨You’re not falling short.
You’re just building something that lasts.

🙌🏽Solid foundations don’t happen overnight — not in the arena, and not in life.
So keep showing up. Keep doing the reps. Keep tending to what matters behind the scenes.

✨You’re not behind.
✨You’re on your way.
And what you’re building is worth the time it takes.
