Many gaited horses have been treated rough. Especially the Tennessee Walking Horse, but I have also had SSH, MFT and RMH come in for training that were abused.
The gaited horses are calm and kind and due to that people many times take short cuts and instead of training them with mild pressure and release and kindness, they over power them to get them to do what they want.
What is left after that, is a horse that has no confidence. A horse that has a high flight response or a high fight response. With time and patience and being very clear with your cues, they can become great horses. But they will never forget.
So if something reminds them of the previous treatment or of the person who handled them roughly then can revert back to their previous high flight and or fight mode. So you always have to be focused when working with them.
With these horses it is best to start with ground work and work through it. This horse tends to fake he is relaxed when he isn't then blows up. You have to take them through it to get to the poor frighten horse that has been hiding inside to turn into a confident thinking horse. Otherwise they are constantly reacting to things instead of looking to the owner or thinking what they should do.
Watch as I rehab this horse into a relaxed willing partner. This takes many months and many years to work through and the owner will have to keep it up and do it at least weekly for the horse to stay calm.
Avoiding the trauma just makes them worse. Slowly you need to show them they will be ok. If you coddle them they will just go over the top of you when they are fearful instead of looking to you for guidance. They need a great leader, not a good one. They need one that is clear and rewards the good behavior and just slowly works through the bad behavior.
That's where you will find the horse you had hoped you bought. He or she is there waiting to see if you are the one that can bring them back out.
