Talk:Narragansett Pacer

This breed is mentioned in The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper.

"'Uncas was bold enough to say, that the beasts ridden by the gentle ones,' continued Hawkeye, glancing his eyes, not without curious interest, on the fillies of the ladies, 'planted the legs of one side on the ground at the same time, which is contrary to the movements of all trotting four-footed animals of my knowledge, except the bear. And yet here are horses that always journey in this manner, as my own eyes have seen, and as their trail has shown for twenty long miles.'"

Was this a characteristic of this breed? Cooper goes on to say that the Narragansett was sought after in early colonial America for its sure-footedness on rugged terrain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.226.16.253 (talk) 18:34, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Um, yes, that describes the pace, from which the breed derived the "Pacer" part of its name.  Montanabw (talk) 20:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I know of no information or facts of this breed having any influence on the Morgan Horse. Ryttar 1 Feb.2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryttar (talk • contribs) 10:39, 1 February 2010 (UTC)


 * There is a connection, I threw in a few basic sources for now. WPEQ doesn't have enough people to put out all brushfires, but the sources here will help others who may want to improve the article.    Montanabw (talk) 20:09, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Pacer illustration
I added an illustration that actually depicts a Pacer; it was confusing to have a picture of the Bay in the lead. It is not the best image, but seems to be the only one showing a Pacer. If no one has issue with the image, eventually I could crop and de-yellow it a bit. I also added Alt text that could use some review. Strangerpete (talk) 13:44, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
