Mountain Horse Breeds
Sturdy and sure-footed, these easy-gaited horses were developed in the hilly terrain and excel at trail riding, showing and parades, and even cattle work.
Mountain Horses include the following recognised breeds:
While breed standards differ somewhat, their history is often intertwined, with familiar faces throughout their pedigrees. Mountain horses are sturdy and born with a natural four-beat gait that their riders will claim is smoothest of all gaited horses.
Mountain horses are also well known for the prevalence of a silver coat color known as "chocolate" by most afficionados, rare in other breeds but fairly common in the Rocky and other mountain breeds. Links between the chocolate color and possible vision problems are discussed at length in many of the mountain breed websites.
