Bookmark or ShareThe development of the modern Saddle Seat equitation is founded on the ideals of the early colonial plantation owners who, by virtue of their vast land holding, sought to find the most comfortable horses to ride during the overseeing of the daily operation. As a result many of America's gaited horses were selectively breed and developed to produce a smooth, fast walk and running walk (often called a "single foot") plus a rocking-horse canter that is without peer, none of which required the rider to post or rise from the saddle at any time.
