Etymology

The term 'gaited' stems from the word 'gait,' which originates from the Old Norse word 'gรกtr,' meaning 'way, manner, or path.' It entered the English language in the late 14th century, initially used to describe the manner of walking or moving. Over time, it evolved to have a more specific application within the realm of equestrianism, particularly in reference to certain horse breeds known for their unique walking patterns. The popularity of gaited horses grew significantly in the United States during the 19th century, with breeds being refined for their distinctive gaits. This widespread interest has persisted, making gaited horses a significant part of the riding community.
