Purebred bay filly at 6 months of age, here shown demonstrating picada gait. Will mature to >15H. Already incredibly swift and smooth. Loving temperament with lots of spirit.

Note: triple hoof support, offset timing of same-side paired legs, over-reach, flat back.

About the Gait.....

The most common Marchador gait, the batida, is a diagonal, 4 beat gait (the forefoot sets down before the hind for each diagonal pair, with timing so offset that 4 distinct footfalls occur. The batida gait shares a lot of similarities with the foxtrot of Missouri foxtrotters or with the paso troce of the Paso Fino, just a little more subtle and a lot faster. There is a moment for each side when three hoofs are on the ground, called "triple" hoof support, that makes this gait particularly smooth and stable. In its finest form, the batida is 4 even beats, called a "center" gait, that is so smooth, we say you can "serve tea off the horse's back".
