I got my paint at 2 1/2. No gaited horses anywhere in his pedegree. When he 
was young, he would do this "thing" near the end of a ride, when he started 
getting tired. I guess he liked it. He  is 12 now and can keep up with my 
daughters arabians trot. Several farriers, vets, and video later, he does 
the twh running walk. He has a big 4 cornered trot that will teach you to 
post in a hurry. But he does "his thing" in the pasture and under saddle.
