@o0sunsi0o We weren't really "working" him, this is just a 2 minute video...we don't work horses on pavement, but will video on pavement to record the recongnizable sound of a gaited horse. And to get a more clear video of the legs and feet to check out the footfall. it's interesting to see the smooth
@o0sunsi0o He is doing a slow gait. Gaited horses are much easier on their legs because there is no suspension phase in their gait, so there is no point at which their whole weight comes crashing down on one or two legs, as it does in a trot or canter. I had a gaited mare who worked on pavement most of her life, often at very high speeds, who was still quite sound and still being ridden at 28. She was not an outlier. I've known many others still working at similar ages.
Regardless of what anybody says about Morgans being gaited or not (and purebred Morgans can be; I've seen it), that is a beautiful Morgan! Focus on the beauty and interesting color of that very cool horse and quit fussing! I'm a Morgan owner of 6 Morgans and have been riding Morgans for 33 years!
even without reading the comments i would know that its a liver chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail. i just got my first morgan horse in august. she isnt gaited but shes got a beautiful extended trot. i can even sit it bareback :]
and seeing this beautiful gaited morgan only makes me love them more. they are great horses :D
@gabbybella123 He is a registered Morgan...we have 30 of them and many videos of gaited Morgans. Morgans were gaited from the beginning, the gait has been bred OUT of them in most family lines but there are a few preserved. first TWH was out of a REg Morgan mare.
go to Missouri Morgans Show in Open Gaited Breed shows, no USEF
judging standard for Morgan Shows. He is just over 15 hands.

@killacitybaby Interesting email address? There are less than 10% of Morgans that are gaited...Justin Morgan bred to many pacers back in the day and so the gait gene is in nearly every Morgan family and we find outcrops all the time. We are line breeding a family of Morgans that has been gaited for over 50 years. See our site at missourimorgans dot com first reg TWH was out of a Morgan mare with many in his sire as well...it's the truth! Interesting...saddlebreds mixed in before registry
@LoveHorseDust i have 2 multi titled World Champion Morgans.. they are purebred.. morgans don't do that.. none of the morgans in the class A shows do that.. they don't like morgans to do that.. so no i DON'T need to do my research Thx..
@killacitybaby ~~ Obviously you DO!! My family has been breeding & showing Morgans for over 100yrs! YES 100yrs my family has been into them that long! & YES THEY DO DO THAT!! You clearly need to learn!!! Just because YOU have NOT seen it does NOT mean they don't. I have 1 REGISTERED with winning lines that do that!!! My mother owns one THAT SHOWS & My sister has 2 that are gaited, so NOW WHAT??!! So yes you DO NEED TO RESEARCH!
@LoveHorseDust Gosh I missed this post. Love Horse Dust, if you'll look on the American Morgan HOrse Association website you'll see that gaited Morgans are readily accepted by AMHA. See the Morgan Single-footing Horse Association as well as another gaited morgan association. The reason they are not shown is because USEF does not have a judging standard for Morgans in gaited classes like American Saddlebreds have 5 gaited classes. OK by me though...don't want ours stacked or chained
@killacitybaby Many Morgans are gaited... Gaited Morgans are shown in regional and national gaited horse shows such as FOSH. I am a gaited horse judge for 14 breeds with the Independent Judging Association. I love all Morgans but choose to ride the gaited ones. Why don't you come to Missouri to try one out...you might not want to show one, but I guarantee you'll love to ride one especially a long distance.
@22duglas He is not a palomino..he is a liver chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail...he appears as a silver dapple but he is not that either...thanks for watching the video and your comment
Wow, what a breathtaking horse!
