Rocky Mountain and Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horses

Welcome to Gaited Corners Farm!

We are a small but proud operation, raising Rocky Mountain Horses of the best quality. We started in 2004, we currently have a few horses for sale. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Rocky Mountain Horse, let me provide you with a little background.

The basic characteristics are a medium-sized horse of gentle temperament with an easy ambling four-beat gait. This gait made it the horse of choice on the farms and the rugged foothills of the Appalachians. It was a horse for all seasons. It could pull the plows in the small fields, work cattle, be ridden bareback by four children to the fishing hole, or to town comfortably on Saturday. They even performed well hitched to the buggy Sunday morning to go to church. Fancy barns and stalls were not necessary. Because of its cold-blooded nature, it tolerated the winters in Kentucky with a minimum of shelter. Naturally, out crossing with local horses did occur but the basic characteristics of a strong genetic line have continued.

The breed is best known for gentleness. It is an easy keeper and a wonderful riding horse with a strong heart and endurance. Today the Rocky Mountain Horse® is being used as a pleasure horse, for trail, and competitive or endurance riding. As show horses, the breed is rapidly gaining in popularity because of its beauty and unique way of moving in the ring. These horses have a lot of natural endurance, they are sure-footed on rough ground and, because of their gait, they require a minimum of effort by both horse and rider so that together they can cover a greater distance with less tiring.

 These are the perfect horses for the weekend rider, they are smart, and the smoothest ride in town. Yet they can do whatever you want them to with the proper training and you still get that smooth gait.
