The purpose of the Four Beats for Pleasure organization is to promote to the general public the joys of horse ownership in general and the smooth-gaited horse in particular. Four Beats for Pleasure exists to provide a forum for smooth-gaited horse enthusiasts to meet and exchange their views, to provide educational opportunities for members and the public, and to facilitate events for smooth-gaited horses to be exhibited. Four Beats for Pleasure is designed primarily as a marketing and promotional organization for the Tennessee Walking Horse. Four Beats for Pleasure is open to easy-gaited horse enthusiasts as a whole, without bias. Breeds represented include, but are not limited to: Tennessee Walking Horses, Spotted Saddle Horses, Racking Horses, Missouri Fox Trotters, Rocky Mountain Horses, Paso Finos, Icelandic Horses and others. In all instances Four Beats for Pleasure recognizes the Registry representative for each breed and encourages its members and the public to abide by the rules of those breed registries.
