My wife and I became interested and purchased our first Morgan in l986. This mare from time to time would go into this smooth gait with no sway or bounce. We quizzed many breeders asking if the Morgan was gaited. The answer was always: "NO." While reading an equine magazine in 1996, it mentioned a small group forming a Morgan Single Footing Horse Club. This was, as the proverbial saying goes, "Just what the Doctor Ordered". My running in combat boots in the military for 20 years had started to show up in leg, hip, and back pains. The "Gaited Morgan" did naturally what our mare did only under the perfect conditions. The origin of the gait in the Morgan breed is a great mystery. There are many theories from those that Figure was bred to gaited mares originally to the gaining of gait as the result of legal outcrosses. These "extra" gaits have probably always been in the Morgan, but denied for decades or were culled/bred out.
