My name is Ivy Schexnayder (pronounced shex-snyder). I live in Winslow, Illinois and my dream has always been to help gaited horse owners to be able to get a smooth gait with their horses.
I have been training gaited horses for over 12 years. I started out with the idea that you could train any gaited horse to gait on a loose rein, preferably with a snaffle or simple bitless bridle/hackamore.
Last year I traveled around the country and was able to work with over 90 different horses! That experience taught me so much. I learned that most horses respond the same way, no matter what the breed, but some need just a little bit of something extra (lateral work) to get the gait.
I also learned that most horses will start gaiting in as little as 3 one hour lessons! The most important thing is to get them relaxed first.
