I commented on the "looks" part in another post, but I didn't mention "wiring". Lee would and Liz will tell you that conformation is the major factor in what gaits that the horse will do, but there does seem to be somewhat of a "wiring" component that is harder to quantify. And of course, there are training and possibly manipulation/gimmick components too. Still, if we can quantify the conformation part, that's the MAJOR piece of the puzzle.
