Re: [RC] [RC] Gaited 1/2 Arabs - Sharon Levasseur

I've never heard of a gaited Percheron, or for that matter a gaited draft horse
of any kind.  But Morgans, sure!
-Sharon L. in Maine


Quoting Barbara McCrary <bigcreekranch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:


Lud's "Grey, 1/2 Morgan (sire) and 1/2 Percheron did a rack when his trot
became too fast.  When I could no longer post, and just had to sit, then I
knew he was gaiting.  My childhood mare, likely a Morgan, did a single-foot.
I know there are gaited Morgans, and I question whether Percherons are
gaited.  Someone tell me I'm wrong about Percherons, perhaps?

  I have heard that too...that if one wants a gaited half Arab (or a gaited
horse that his half non-gaited), then to make sure that the gaited parent is
the mare for the greatest chance of getting gait.  I've known of 6 horses
that were half of a gaited breed (2 Arab/Paso Finos, 2 Arab/TWH, 1
Morgan/MFT, and 1 Arab/RMH).  All were gaited, and in all cases, the dam was
the gaited breed.  Of course, we need some examples the other way, with the
gaited parent beng the sire, to see if "the rule" works.  <G>

    Hello RC,

      Someone told me that a gaited horse gets it's "gait" from the mother.
I know of some 1/2 arabs that gaited very well.  But they were out of gaited
mares.  Does anyone know how true this rumor is?  Could an arab mare have a
gaited offspring?

    PS.  Cash Pony I believe would gait if trained that way...but his mother
was the TWH.
