America's Natural Horse What's the fastest growing breed of light horse in the country? What's the most versatile breed of horse anywhere from the show ring to the work field? Ask anyone, they'll know! And they should, It's America's natural horse, The Racking Horse. Legendary for its beauty, stamina, and calm disposition, the popularity of this noble animal grew strong on the great southern plantations before the civil war. It was learned that the horse could be ridden comfortably for hours because of its smooth, natural gait. The "Rack" is very similar to the Tennessee Walk, and is often referred to as a "Single-foot" because only one hoof strikes the ground at a time. The racking horse comes by this gait as naturally as walking or striking a trot comes to other breeds. The phenomenal growth of this breed can be directly attributed to its intelligence and versatility. Beginning riders cherish the smooth, easy gait and the calm temperament of the racking horse. Veteran horsemen admire its beauty and ability to perform anywhere from the work field to the show ring. In early 1971, a group of knowledgeable Alabama horsemen, already involved in breeding and raising racking horses, formed the Racking Horse Breeder's Association of America. In May of 1971 the United States Department of Agriculture deemed the Racking Horse to be an individual breed possessing a unique natural gait, and granted a registry and stub book to the RHBAA.
