A gaited horse is a horse that displays a gait other than the normal "four" gaits. The average horse is able to perform four distinct gaits:

Walk: a 4 beat gait where each foot hits the ground at a distinct point. (Front left, back right, front right, back left)

Trot/Jog: a 2 beat gait where the opposite feet hit at the same time (Front left + back right, front right + back left)

Canter/Lope: a 3 beat gait where one side leads (Back right, front right + back left, front left)

Gallop: a 4 beat gait faster than the canter where all four feet hit a distinct point and there is a moment when all 4 feet are off the ground.

So a gaited horse has other gaits as well. The most common is probably the pace (seen in Missouri Fox Trotters, Tennessee Walking Horses, and others). This can be as slow as a jog and as fast as a canter. It is when the front leg and back leg on the same side move together. When ridden, it feels like you are swaying back and forwarth, very smooth.

Some other gaits are the running walk, the rack (Saddlebreds and such), the tolt (Icelandics).

Yes


Can a quarter horse be a gated horse?

No, purebred quarter horses cannot be gated. Some people think they can because sometimes a quarter horse can have a big stride or a long stride and seem gated, but it is immpossible. Hope that helps :)

What is a stimulus gated channel?

There are voltage-gated ion channels and ligand-gated ion channels, and since both are stimuli the term stimulus-gated is a redundancy.

What is the difference between voltage-gated and ligand-gated ion channels in terms of their mechanisms of activation and regulation?

Voltage-gated ion channels are activated by changes in membrane potential, while ligand-gated ion channels are activated by binding of specific molecules (ligands). Voltage-gated channels open in response to changes in electrical charge across the membrane, whereas ligand-gated channels open when a specific molecule binds to them. Additionally, voltage-gated channels are regulated by membrane potential, while ligand-gated channels are regulated by the presence of specific ligands.


How do voltage-gated channels differ from ligand-gated channels in terms of their mechanisms of activation and regulation?

Voltage-gated channels are activated by changes in membrane potential, while ligand-gated channels are activated by binding of specific molecules (ligands). Voltage-gated channels open in response to changes in electrical charge across the membrane, whereas ligand-gated channels open when a specific ligand binds to the channel. Additionally, voltage-gated channels are regulated by changes in membrane potential, while ligand-gated channels are regulated by the presence or absence of specific ligands.


What is the difference between ligand-gated and voltage-gated channels in terms of their mechanisms of activation and regulation?

Ligand-gated channels are activated by binding of specific molecules (ligands) to the channel, while voltage-gated channels are activated by changes in the electrical potential across the cell membrane. Ligand-gated channels are regulated by the presence of ligands, while voltage-gated channels are regulated by changes in membrane potential.
