Racking Horse

Intro

The Racking Horse is well known for their handsome demeanor, their calm disposition and their great strength & stamina.

Origins

This is a breed that was developed by plantation owners prior to the Civil War who had need of an animal they could ride for hours without becoming sore. The smooth gait of the Racking Horse soon become a favorite & was widely used.

In 1960 a man from Alaba a named Joe Bright began a breeding program with the intention of having the Racking Horse breed officially recognized and finally achieved that goal in 1971. Less than physical characteristics, Racking horses are registered based on their gaits.
