| The North American Single-Footing Horse Association was formed in January
of 1991 by members of an all-gaited horse trail riding club. The breed
is being developed, owned, bred, and judged by trail riders for the qualities
pleasure trail, competition trail, working trail, and versatility owners
need and want.
North American Single-Footing Horses come in all sizes and all colors and color patterns including many unusual ones. NASHA places emphasis on a natural, even or nearly even 4 beat gait as the intermediate gait. Also they feel that smoothness in gait through a wide range of speeds is desirable, with a smooth transition from the walk to the intermediate gait. Horses registered with NASHA may be registered with another association or the result of custom crosses. 
Coral LaCE is a Foundation Sire of the North American Single Footing Horse . The Single-Footing Horse is a light breed of good conformation, attractive in appearance, and smooth riding. The ideal gait is a near evenly timed 4 beat intermediate gait which gives an exceptionally smooth ride at speeds from 5 to over 20 miles per hour. Many of these horses are also able to perform other smooth riding gaits as well. The registry stresses other qualities as important such as endurance, a tractable, willing temperament with a natural "want to work" attitude, common sense, the working conformation to hold up to years of service, maximum smoothness at all speeds and a good range in gait. In stressing the natural gait and performance, the Association penalizes forced unnatural performances with severe or artificial devices. Use of these methods are cause for immediate suspension from NASHA. North American Single-Footing Horse Association
