Gaited Morgans

Gaited Morgans perform walk, canter, some may trot and one or more ambling gaits. Therefore, they perform both lateral and diagonal gaits. Current Gaited and non-gaited Morgans trace 19th century mixture Morgans, Saddlebreds, Thoroughbred and Standardbreds. The Morgan breed is not an overall gaited breed. UC Davis random sampling test showed 20% Morgans carried gait gene. Gait is inherited from generation to generation.
