About The Breed:
The Racking Horse is a gaited breed from the United States. They are known for their gait called the Rack, a smooth four beat gait, where only one foot strikes the ground at a time. The Average size is 15.2 and around 1,000 lbs. They come in a wide variety of colors.
“Similar to other breeds that are born with ability to trot, Racking Horses are born with the ability to Rack.”
The breed is known for their beauty, stamina, and calm disposition. In 1975 they were named as Alabama's state horse. Over 80,000 horses have been registered with the Racking Horse Breeders Association of America. There are two methods of registration: 1) Proven pedigree of registered parents including blood type. 2) Open registration where the horse is evaluated and has to meet certain standards of temperament, gait and conformation.
