That was us, we did an exibition at the SHBEA world show 2 years ago. I was on Dig and my husband was on Ace his full brother. We have sold Ace. Thanks you for the compliment. We love Digger very much and we feel he is an awsome horse.
We're blessed with a now 14 year old registed racking horse that I've clocked at 15mph that he does effortlessly. Gravedigger is clearly in a class by himself and it's a treat to see him in action. Thanks for sharing this horse. We can tell how much this horse means to you. Regards-Bill
Love the music, love the name, love the horse! I am a big fan of you and Grave Digger. Ablsolutely LOVE that you don't stack and chain him. I wish every person that raised TWHs would emulate your love, kindness, and responsiblity for this wonderful breed.
That horse is amazing! Love the music...it's perfect for him. I turn this on every now and then just to feel good. Really gets you going! Thanks so much for making this video!
This horse is gorgeous--love his conformation. Very well put-together video. I have it saved to my favorites and play it when I want a serious case of GOOSEBUMPS!
I love this horse and you guy's. AMAZING!! You can tell he is giving all heart with no pain, HE LOVES IT, I see a happy horse. Yes he took my breath away. AWESOME!!
I have a 2 year old by Gravedigger, a 1.5 year old by Gravedigger (full siblings, ) and their Dam is in foal to him again. I also have another mare in foal to Gravedigger. He's awesome and I still tune into this video every now and then because "I like the way he moves." I can assure you, this horse is not sored!
Thank you all for the kind comments and to those that think he is sored I invite you to come to the barn any time you can see him in his stall look at his legs and feet and I will tack him up and ride him for ya! This horse is and has always been 100% natural!
that was so fun to watch! thanx so much for sharing- my horse has pretty bad hocks, he could never do something like that because of how he was treated by someone else earlier in his life. i'm so glad gravedigger has such a good home and performs so wonderfuly and beautifuly!
I find that horse to have perfect knee action, the best yet for this breed. And under all that knee action he is all natural! Gorgeous! Congratulation's!
Thank you Jengersnap. He is a very talented and special animal. He is loved dearly by us. We feel he is incredible. He throws awsome babies. We hope one day to show people they can truelly rack at the higher speeds. We azre trying! There are so many sceptics out there though it feels like a loosing battle.
I think the less than stellar video quality is playing tricks on your eyes, he has a really smooth gait the whole time, and his rider doesn't get jounced at all.
I dont just like the way ! I L-O-V-E the way he moves .Looks like he has it all Style, Speed and very smooth.You all are so very lucky to own him.I also love the way this guy rides this horse they compliment each other.
Knowing how big the Calasonic is makes this that much more impressive. As everyone else has said.. He is amazing! There is nothing like a naturally gaited horse.
I love this video and think the music fits the horse's gait. He is doing what comes natural. I have a friend that has a registered Arab that racks also, however, they discourage him. That tells me that somewhere in the common ancestry there was an Arabian horse that passed on this wonderful gait to more than just the gaited breeds. Yes, I do have one of these horses in my barn and she's just a dream to ride and she's cowboy shod!
Beautiful horse!! I have a racking horse - haven't clocked him yet but we gait and my friends on Arabs and Quarter Horses are galloping. Fun Fun FUN!! And, they have wonderful personalities. No spooking, great ground manners. Best out there.
He is beautiful, I remember stumbling on this video years ago. The music and your boy just go together wonderfully. What a ride, and he loves showing off. Thanks for sharing him with the rest of the world ♥️
Man, He sure does get it done! Anyone that knows horses should be able to Clearly see this horse is loving what he's doing here!!!! If you can't see that, you dunno much at All!
Nice easy hand on the reins :) you aren't driving the horse into the gate like I've seen in some. And thanks for flat shoeing the horse. All natural is the way to go. My family used to have a walking horse mare, she 'walked' in the pasture. And man could she move when she felt the urge! The other horses needed to canter to keep up with her. My Dad could always make her settle into gate, but I ended up with her doing this bumpy skip thing a lot because I didn't know how to trigger the gates properly.
Ok, just to start off-I'm not a "gaited horse" fan per se, like my "trotting" horses-quarters/paints, BUT THIS HORSE IS AMAZING!! WOW!!! Not only is his movement/speed incredible, but he's got substance in his build!! Like the fluidity.
good looking horse i have a pacer/twh and hes 2 yrs old hitting 40mph and holding his gait the pacer gait of course but he still saddles good keep up the good work vids coming soon
Thank you for your wonderful comment. Digger has become alot more popular that we ever expected. People come to our farm just to see him even people without horses. We have even had people cry when we bring him out. To me he is just a very special horse but to others he almost seems like a movie star. LOL!! But we love him no matter what he is. He is very special in our eyes. Thanks again for your great comment.
I have read all the comments people have left for Gravedigger, The only reason i can see why anyone would put down this beautiful horse is just plain jealousy. He is a drop dead Gorgeous horse.
This horse and rider give me goosebumps! I have a TWH that has gaited similar to that (much slower!)on the trail and it was incredibly fast and smooth. I wish I wasn't a damn Yankee! Gaited horse lover from Oregon
Your horse is an amazing athlete. My daughter and I were spellbound by his performance. We have never seen a racking horse at work before. We own a Paso Fino who would love to race you!
TNW, Yws the calsonic is very big. We were showing at the Spotted World and brought the two Speed horses up and practiced all week in the calsonic. They than asked us to do a exhibition with them. It was great fun and the crowed loved it.
Here I thought a mare six with the throttles open was the biggest rush you could get off your feet. DAMN! Great form, too, nice and tight in his hocks.
Very nice to see this; great rack, smooth movements and the horse is allowed to work and use its body! So many bad examples on gaited horses of this kind, but Gravdigger is great!!
Your horse is magnificent and electrifying!!! I love his consistency and boldness. I think I saw him live at the Calsonic arena at the SSH show with another racking horse (two horses in the demonstration); the two riders were dressed in Saddleseat attire and the rest of us were in Western show gear. I would love to see him in person again.
Wow! he is amazing. I'm new to horses and I don't have my own yet so excuse my novice questions but what type of saddle is the best for walking/racking horse? English, Western, etc..
He is just ridden on a regular basis now. I am not sure what you are asking regarding training? He was bred to do this. When he was broke they just got him in a nice rack and as he matured we pushed him faster and faster without allowing him to break. But the horse must be bred to do the speed a normal racking horse can not go these speeds normally. Hope that answers yo
Basically a trotter as we use them for harness racing pulling the sulky. Except you ride these in saddle. Looks like the very similar trot. Also similar as the tennesse walking trot. It's a fast and level ride. This guy is a very nice mover.
Hello!!! I met you guys in Macon, Georgia on April 27, 2013, Teline Equestrian Centre (Formerly Hidden Paradise Eq. Centre) the overnight barn that you stayed at. All of your horses are beautiful. Hope you enjoyed your stay!!!
wow! I've only ever heard people talk about "the Grave Digger"...as if speaking of a god... lol, but this is the first time I've SEEN that the horse does in fact, EXIST! Cool, I'm not much on Walkers, but that is one amazing horse!
Perfect song...and for those that think he might be sored, if you noticed the one class he didn't go into was the "padded" class. That's where you find the sore ones. Outstanding stallion with amazing confirmation!
It is so nice to see a HAPPY, well trained horse excelling at what he does. Wonderful Job, and congratulations!
That was us, we did an exibition at the SHBEA world show 2 years ago. I was on Dig and my husband was on Ace his full brother. We have sold Ace. Thanks you for the compliment. We love Digger very much and we feel he is an awsome horse.
Sometimes I just have to come back and watch the video that made me want a speed racking horse. This video aged well.
Love this horse. And I also love that he's one of the few speed-racking horses I've seen that is well-ridden.
We're blessed with a now 14 year old registed racking horse that I've clocked at 15mph that he does effortlessly. Gravedigger is clearly in a class by himself and it's a treat to see him in action. Thanks for sharing this horse. We can tell how much this horse means to you. Regards-Bill
Thank you so much. We think he is pretty special and are very blessed to have the oportunity to own such an awsome animal.
I have watched the video of him so many times and wondered if he is still with you. Thank you
Wow! Such fluidity of movement! Very impressive =] And what a lovely gait as well!
He is just so gorgeous. Not only perfect cadence, but he is clearly enjoying the heck out of himself!
Gravedigger is incredible! His gait is incredibly smooth and consistent, I find him to be a fascinating little horse!
Love the music, love the name, love the horse! I am a big fan of you and Grave Digger. Ablsolutely LOVE that you don't stack and chain him. I wish every person that raised TWHs would emulate your love, kindness, and responsiblity for this wonderful breed.

This horse is gorgeous--love his conformation. Very well put-together video. I have it saved to my favorites and play it when I want a serious case of GOOSEBUMPS!
I've never really thought that the rack was all that pretty but watching your horse move like that was absolutely beautiful. Amazing horse!
this horse looks like he is swimming. he is AWESOME and i love watching the video. he is moving so fast it is breathtaking.
i was brought up with saddlebreds but this one--- i think my eyes popped out of my head!!! awesome.... kuddos to the trainer..
I love this horse and you guy's. AMAZING!! You can tell he is giving all heart with no pain, HE LOVES IT, I see a happy horse. Yes he took my breath away. AWESOME!!
I love watching him go... he is one of the best! Thanks for sharing him with us...
So glad I found this vid again. Love the vid and gravedigger
I have a 2 year old by Gravedigger, a 1.5 year old by Gravedigger (full siblings, ) and their Dam is in foal to him again. I also have another mare in foal to Gravedigger.

I've seen a sored horse and been in a soring barn. NO WAY was he ever touched. No stacks, no chains, no chemicals. God-given DNA!
What breed horde is this? I only seen icelandic horses walk like this
There is something so comical about this song and this horse, I love it! Beautiful!
I'm hooked! I want one! Great song...so suits this beautiful animal. I could watch him all day.
He DOES look happy, smooth, fast and stylish. Love this horse!
that was so fun to watch! thanx so much for sharing- my horse has pretty bad hocks, he could never do something like that because of how he was treated by someone else earlier in his life. i'm so glad gravedigger has such a good home and performs so wonderfuly and beautifuly!
I don't know much about horses, but that looks like one of the smoothest rides ive seen. Very nice horse, for sure
What a beautiful boy. Makes me miss my horse even more - she could really get moving racking too - so much fun!
I find that horse to have perfect knee action, the best yet for this breed. And under all that knee action he is all natural!
Gorgeous! Congratulation's!
What a great video....beautiful horse! He looks to be having as much fun as the rider! Thanks for posting
Thank you Jengersnap. He is a very talented and special animal. He is loved dearly by us. We feel he is incredible. He throws awsome babies. We hope one day to show people they can truelly rack at the higher speeds. We azre trying! There are so many sceptics out there though it feels like a loosing battle.
He's got a good back end, good hock the horse seems to respond better to the man riding it's a joy to watch.
Watching him move out gave me goosebumps....thank you, thank you.
Wow, absolutely gorgeous. That looks like such a fun ride, too!
WHOOOO! go baby go! I miss my TWH so much, what a beautiful animal you have!
He looks like he loves his job. Gorgeous boy.
This horse is a thrill. Gives me goosebumps!
smoothest racker I've seen in a long while, congrats on this boy
I think the less than stellar video quality is playing tricks on your eyes, he has a really smooth gait the whole time, and his rider doesn't get jounced at all.
This horse makes my heart sing!
I have this vid in my faves and I watch it a lot! I love this horse!
Awesome horse, and he looks like he's having fun which is nice.

Your horse ROCKS! I love him!!!

I can also say after watching this he is doing a correct gait for sure. Very nice :)
That horse makes it look so effortless. :)
I dont just like the way ! I L-O-V-E the way he moves .Looks like he has it all Style, Speed and very smooth.You all are so very lucky to own him.I also love the way this guy rides this horse they compliment each other.

LOVE your horse! I have TWHs... one of whom WISHES she were a speed racker... great video, thanks!!!

I've seen lots of horses in my life, this one is exciting!
I like the way you move......Digger!
I like the gray at the beginning too.
I WISH I had a mare good enough for this stallion...
gives me goosebumps every time I see him!
Gravedigger, I Like the way you move!
One in a million stallion.
I am stalking this boy....I can't get enough of his videos! Nice song choice! :)
Awesome! Gaited horses are neat to watch under saddle but this guy just rates high on my list as great vids!
Great video and music. I like the way you put the best to last.
Beautiful horse!! I have a racking horse - haven't clocked him yet but we gait and my friends on Arabs and Quarter Horses are galloping. Fun Fun FUN!! And, they have wonderful personalities. No spooking, great ground manners. Best out there.
Rick does like to talk about her and I can't blame him, she is nice , and has a head full of sense which I love.
Amazing horse, and you should be commended on keeping him flat shod. Beautiful.
Thanks so much for your support. You can't please everyone!

Digger is an awesome horse-I'm proud to own his brother. Just hope Mojo (aka Tex) will grow up just like him!

very appropriate music choice, i love that song!
Here I thought a mare six with the throttles open was the biggest rush you could get off your feet. DAMN! Great form, too, nice and tight in his hocks.
I find it such a strange gait, haha. Such a smooth moving horse!
Now THAT'S what I call a JOY RIDE!!!!
LOVE the clip at 3:02!!! thats like something out of a movie
that is amazing!!!! he reminds me of my standardbred, he's a pacer
Very nice to see this; great rack, smooth movements and the horse is allowed to work and use its body!
So many bad examples on gaited horses of this kind, but Gravdigger is great!!
I would LOVE To meet Grave Digger in person...he makes my skin prickle he is so AWESOME! :D
He makes it look so EFFORTLESS! He's one horse I'd love to meet before I die :)
Kickin butt!!!! Just the best!!!
Holy crap. That's one damned fast racking horse.
still love you Digger We need more videos
to watch
Your horse is magnificent and electrifying!!! I love his consistency and boldness.

Wow! he is amazing. I'm new to horses and I don't have my own yet so excuse my novice questions but what type of saddle is the best for walking/racking horse? English, Western, etc..
yes He is. Fancy our Mule at the time loved trying to keep up!
holy heck! what a mover! Love this horse! we need to cross this horse with mine! the colt would have wings!
He is just ridden on a regular basis now. I am not sure what you are asking regarding training? He was bred to do this.
