In November 1993 Bill Moore, Ricky Davison, and Eddy McCary had the first meeting of the American Gaited Mule Association at Old Charles Restaurant in Lebanon, Tennessee.Then Warren Bagley, Elizabeth Gilmore, and Sue King came aboard to help form the AMGA. At this time the six of us felt like we should have some input from people in the Walking Horse industry. We contacted Ronald Young, David Howard, Tommy Grider to help organize the AGMA. We contacted the Bobo, Hunt, and Bobo law firm for our attorney and John T. Bobo came aboard as our attorney. In the spring of 1994 at our next meeting the board of directors was formed and officers were elected as follows:.

On July 6, 1994, the AGMA was incorporated with the state of Tennessee as a non-profit organization. In the fall of 1994 the AGMA was contracted by Sue King from the North American Saddle Mule Association at her request we formed a rules committee to do a section in the rule book for gaited mules. The committee included Eddy McCray, Ricky Davison, Ronald Young, Warren Bagley, and Bill Moore. This started our affiliation of the AGMA with the NASMA. In 1995 the AGMA asked the Great Celebration Mule Show in Shelbyville, Tennessee to hold their first World Championship Show. We have grown from 1 class simply called "Gaited" with 22 total mule entries to 24 classes with some having over 30 entries in 2006.

In 2006 we went on our own with a new AGMA rule book.

In 2007 we are expecting a great future for the Gaited Mule with a new web site, new rule book, new state coordinators and new State Championship Shows.
