Welcome to Kentucky Natural Gaited Horse Association
The KNGHA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the Kentucky Natural Gaited Horse of Eastern Kentucky.
The Kentucky Natural Gaited Horse, also known as the KY Saddler or Country Saddle Horse, is a naturally gaited breed dating back to the early settlers and Civil War era.
Our ancestors took great pride in nurturing the qualities that set this breed apart from others, primarily their sure footed trail abilities and gentle disposition. The KNGHA is devoted to protecting this legendary bloodline through breeding for the “true” qualities of the old Kentucky Natural Gaited Horse. We are committed to preserving, promoting and showing this breed.
Come, join us in our endeavor. Become a part of the legacy of the Kentucky Natural Gaited Horse.
