i would try Lee Zieglers book Easy Gaited Horses, ive been reading it for a while now and it teaches some good stuff about how to train for the gaits without cheating.
ETA: its not only for TWH's but for other gaited breeds as well but the same principal applies to all.

check out www.gaitsofgold.net. It's a website all about gaited horses with lots of info and a forum and everything. I used to have a Walker and I have lots of friends with them. They are nice horses.

I really like the Lonnie Kuhen videos for training. I have 4 TWH - love them - they are really good beginner horses. While I know some are off the chart in the energy department - as a whole they are not. They are generally easy to be around and so much fun to ride. I have had very good luck with mine being easy to get along with - have had one that we had to sell due to being "crazy" (bucking, rearing, bolting) - but he was an odd duck, especially for the breed. You are seeing more and more gaited horses in general at camping places - probably that baby boomer influence of wanting a quiet, smooth ride.

Ok, first I'll say I agree with what you've got so far. It's a really good place to start. Second, if you have specific questions, ask away I can probably answer them. I grew up with TWHs and I have trained a few. In fact a person who's horses I trained just joined the forum today. I don't know who lonnie kuhen is but I bet you I will before long,lol. I have to speak to the babyboomer comment now...I get a lot of flak in NorthWest GA because I ride an "old man's horse" but I'm starting to see a lot more gaited horses now. For some reason people here think that gaited horses can't do things that a QH can. Now I'm not saying that QH's don't excel at some things I'm just saying gaited horses can do more than gait. I've had TWHs that know how to rope and cut etc.etc. So when you get a gaited horse, don't think it's only for trails. Finally, I have always had an easier time training gaited horses than straight gaited horses, so in my opinion they are easier to work with.
