The unique gait




You have to ride one to know what we're talking about.




Your ride is a surprisingly fast walk that is smooth and unjarring. This fast gliding walk has been called the Indian Shuffle and may have descended from the original Nez Perce horses.




"quoted by Lewis & Clark"


(their description of the horses they saw...)




D&M's Redman along with some of the mares in the broodband exhibit this running walk. The broodband occasionally passes this walking trait onto their foals. Rockin' H Appaloosas present band of Stallions and broodmares are producing an excellent mix of great quality, color and riding pleasure.
