gaits
Natural or acquired means of locomotion used by a horse, based on limb movements. There are four principal gaits.
canter
Natural gait performed in three unequal movements: both diagonal legs work together, while the other two work separately, with a pause in between.
pace
Acquired jumping gait in two movements, extremely comfortable and faster than the trot; both pairs of lateral legs alternate in lifting.
