Gaited Horses of New England
Welcome To Gaited Horses of New England
Gaited Horses of New England promotes the humane treatment of horses, good sportsmanship, and camaraderie among Gaited Horse enthusiasts, and as a non-Profit (501c3) organization, we promote the enjoyment of the Gaited Horse on the beautiful New England trails, at educational clinics, and in the flat/lite shod show ring.
Members of the organization strive to educate the general public and encourage and promote the ownership of the ultimate pleasure horse, our naturally gaited horses. Membership and events are open to owners and riders of any and all gaited breeds.
As a regional club of Tennessee Walking Horses, Missouri Fox Trotters, Rocky Mountain Horses, Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horses, Paso Fino Horses, Icelandic Horses, and Spotted Saddle Horses enthusiasts, we ride in local parades, host gaited-horse clinics, exhibit at horse fairs, such as Equine Affaire, travel the trails, and glide through pleasure and dressage shows on our beautiful gaited horses. With active members located in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey, we are sure to have events and activities near your home, where you can join the excitement and ride the glide with other friendly gaited-horse enthusiasts.
