Keep in mind that several breeds developed from the same basic
stock--depending on how particular lines and strains were selected and
bred.  The Saddlebred, the Walker, etc. all come from "thoroughbred"
lines--but specific traits possessed by particular individuals were
desired and selected in some areas for specific uses, and bred on
accordingly. Go back far enough, and you will find a fair amount of the
same root stock in the gaited breeds (developed primarily in the South),
the modern TB, the Morgan, and the American QH.
