Since the time America began, the Racking Horse has been legendary for its beauty, stamina, and calm disposition. This noble animal's popularity grew strong on the great southern plantations before the Civil War.

The Racking Horse is attractive and gracefully built with a long sloping neck, full flanks, well-boned, smooth legs, and finely textured hair. They are considered a "light" horse in comparison with other breeds,, averaging hands high (a "hand" is considered to be fours inches) and weighing 1,000 pounds. Color may be black, bay, sorrel, chestnut, brown, gray, yellow, buckskin, champagne, cremelo, dun, palomino, white, and sometimes even spotted or roan.

The "rack" of the Racking Horse is a bi-lateral four-beat gait which is neither a pace nor a trot. It is often called a "single-foot" because only one foot strikes the ground at a time. He comes by this gait as naturally as walking or striking a bold trot comes to other breeds. He is not t be confused with other breeds in which the "rack" is an artificially achieved gait resulting from special training.

In 1975, an act of legislature declared the Racking Horse to be Alabama's State horse. This notoriety, as well as the comfortable ride and beautiful stride makes the Racking Horse a favorite both in the show ring and on the trail.

We have had the unparalleled pleasure, during our lives, of owning, riding and loving numerous wonderful horses, both Tennessee Walkers and Racking Horses. We hope that you will take a tour through the pages we have set up for several of our very special equine friends, one for each of them because they are deserving of the distinction of having their own page!
