Ambling was described as early as the Hittite writings of Kikkuli. [1] The amble was particularly prized in horses in the Middle Ages due to the need for people to travel long distances on poor roads.
Gaited horses are horse breeds that have selective breeding for natural gaited tendencies, that is, the ability to perform one of the smooth-to-ride, intermediate speed, four-beat horse gaits, collectively referred to as ambling gaits.
