Mary Mel's Mystery is a Gaited Morgan stallion. A video taken of him
was viewed by the late Lee Ziegler and she identified him demonstrating
seven different gaits. |
He has over 40 foals on the ground and many of
them are gaited. One of his foals that is non-gaited is, Mystery Carmel,
and he is a winner in Three-day Eventing.
Our Thanks
to Anita and Clarence Messenger of Liberty Mountain Ranch for allowing
us to purchase this fine stallion. |

Morgan Single-Footing
Horse Association Gait Descriptions Single-foot: A broad term used by old time horsemen to describe any gait other than a two beat gait. The MSFHA has adopted the term “Single-Foot” as an umbrella term to describe the continuum. It includes the following gaits: fox trot, running walk, rack and stepping pace. Fox Trot: A four beat gait where the diagonal hooves move together with the front hoof hitting the ground slightly before the rear. Running Walk: An even four beat cadence with each hoof hitting the ground singly, similar to a flat foot walk but with more speed. Rack: A four beat cadence with each hoof hitting the ground singly but somewhat laterally in nature. The rack more closely resembles the running walk, but can develop more speed. Stepping Pace: A four beat gait in which the lateral hooves move together with the hind hoof hitting the ground slightly before the front. This gait is sometimes called a broken pace. |
