Is this gait efficient for the horse to go long periods....

This is a gait what we can more or less hold all day. Of course we stop for breaks and slow down for rough terrain. This mare hadn't been ridden in almost a year and she had no problem with this pace for 4 hours on Sunday.

Where did horses with these distinctive gaits come from? Do you know the origins and if it was found wild or was it somehow created and bred into them?
