The Mountain Pleasure Horse

The beauty of the Mountain Pleasure Horse (MPH) is the disposition and gait. Many of us don't have the time to ride a horse every day. The MPH is waiting, with its natural gait and willing disposition, whether you ride once a week or once a month.

The versatility and disposition of the MPH is the product of years of breeding and use in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. The resulting Mountain Pleasure Horse is a combination of several of the gaited type horses that were available to the savvy Kentuckians who bred for that ideal horse that was easy riding, but who could ride all day and had the temperament to do anything you want.
Although we do like to 'show off' our horses, MPH owners will be quick to tell you these horses are not bred primarily as show horses. Their beauty, smoothness of gait and responsiveness under saddle can be observed in the show ring, but the real proof of value of this breed is on the 100-mile trail ride or at the backyard birthday party when a youngster becomes acquanted with his or her first mount.


The Mountain Pleasure Horse Association has strict requirements that promote breeding of the MPH in which the natural gait and amiable disposition breeds true. The easy riding gait is difficult to describe, but once you've experienced it, you'll settle for no other. He/she is a naturally gaited horse that absorbs the bounce of a gait. It is bred into these horses. As a rider gets to know his or her MPH, they will find the horse can be ridden at varying speeds while maintaining the same smooth, comfortable gait.


About one sixth of the MPHA registry is an unusual chocolate color, another one sixth is palamino. Chestnut is closely related to these two colors and one-third of the horses are chestnut. The remaining one third are black, buckskin, grey, bay, roan and even cremello. Color is not a criteria of quality in the MPHA.
