  • Most Morgans used to be gaited, hence their influence on the Tennessee Walking horses. Its been bred out of them in recent years, though obviously some lines have preserved the gait.

  • Actually, some Morgans are indeed gaited. The Lippit bloodlines to this day are gaited. They are just not very common

  • hey do you know h ow to teach piaffe i have a morgan mare

  • @horses1995 They really aren't special shoes. Most of the bloodlines you find in Morgans will naturally pick their feet up higher, it's only slightly accented by weighted shoes and pads. The AMHA and USEF closely regulates the weighted shoes. If you're found with heavier shoes than allowed you will be disqualified for the rest of the show.

  • @SnowFire337 Morgans are not a gaited breed. Walk, trot, canter that's it. If you find a gaited "Morgan" 99% of the time it's not a full morgan and somewhere down the gene pool another breed got intermingled. These "Morgans" are not accepted into the AMHA and cannot show on the Class A circuit and will not be accepted by breeders.

  • my goodness, what a handsome horse!

  • @SnowFire337 Morgans are not a gaited breed. They walk, trot, and canter. There are a few bloodlines that have the ability to single foot, but they're a very small minority and you don't see them in the show ring very often because there are no classes for gaited Morgans at AMHA or USEF shows.

    Don't confuse high-stepping with gaited. They're two separate characteristics.

  • @OblivionSs4 Yes, Morgans are a gaited breed

  • are they gaited horses?
