The Quarter Horse is a breed of horse known for its ability to perform the four gaits-walk, trot, canter, and gallop. (pasturegallop.com)
The trot is a two-beat gait used to travel medium to long distances. (pasturegallop.com)
Trot - The trot is a faster, two beat gait where the legs move in diagonal pairs. (aspca.org)
Canter - The canter is three beat gait that is typically faster than the walk and trot. (aspca.org)
Many Tennessee WalkingHorses can also perform other gaits that aren't unique to the breed, like the fox-trot, rack, and stepping pace. (webmd.com)
During relatively slow locomotion, for example when animals explore the environment, they typically exhibit left-right asynchronous/alternating gaits, such as walk and trot. (elifesciences.org)
Changes easily from trot to gallop, which is the most natural style of movement. (dolforums.com.au)
Like virtually all horses, Icelandics can walk, trot and canter/gallop. (ihsgb.co.uk)
Fraden noted, "the engineering principles they identified are general and can be applied to design a whole range of other Central Pattern Generators, such as those responsible for other autonomous functions, such as the gait of a horse, for example, walk, canter, trot and gallop. (army.mil)
You will notice a trot has more bounces, while an ambling gait will make a horse appear like gliding. (simplehorselife.com)
If a horse begins to trot during a gallop race, it does not matter as long as the jockey reaches the finish line sitting in the saddle. (giedovandergarde.com)
The combination should show walk on one long side of the track, trot or tölt on one long side of the track and gallop on one long side of the track. (landsmot.is)
Free tempo trot, slow tölt, fast tölt and gallop. (landsmot.is)
In this class three rounds are ridden, walk for at least half a long side, trot, slow tölt, fast tölt and gallop on one long side each gait and one long side free choice to receive a full mark. (landsmot.is)
Canter9
Canter is a three-beat gait used for traveling faster than the walk but not as fast as the gallop. (pasturegallop.com)
The gallop is a gait that, like the canter, consists of one part where all feet are airborne at one time. (insiderhorse.com)
In the gallop, horses don't have leading legs like they do at the canter. (insiderhorse.com)
The canter is a collected gallop, which is a three-beat gait performed by many horse breeds. (webmd.com)
While all horses canter, the Tennessee Walking Horse performs the gait with its characteristic rhythm and smoothness. (webmd.com)
Although this is a gait which can be performed at all speeds (from a fast walking speed through to canter speed) there is no moment of suspension as there is always at least one foot in contact with the ground. (ihsgb.co.uk)
Naturally gaited breeds, especially horses with lateral ambling gaits, including stepping and pace, can be difficult in learning to canter. (simplehorselife.com)
You may need a gaited trainer to train your horse how to canter for a laterally inclined horse. (simplehorselife.com)
The Quarter Horse's gait is smooth because it moves both its front and back legs simultaneously. (pasturegallop.com)
But the Quarter Horse's versatility doesn't stop with its smooth gait. (pasturegallop.com)

There are not any irregularities of any type in the horse's physique, gait or movement. (groundzeroprojects.com)
This leaves one long side free to correct mistakes or to show the horse's best gait again in an attempt to improve the overall mark. (landsmot.is)
Pace5
The walk is the slowest gait and is used for traveling short distances or when the horse needs to move at a slow, controlled pace. (pasturegallop.com)
Pace is a two beat lateral gait with a moment of suspension. (ihsgb.co.uk)
Flying pace is a gait for well-balanced, well-trained horses with good riders - it´s not generally used as a "day-to-day" travelling gait. (ihsgb.co.uk)
Unlike track racehorses whose primary training purpose is speed, gaited horses' main uses are driving and riding pleasure. (simplehorselife.com)

Quarter Horses are known for their smooth, four-beat gait , making them an ideal choice for horse racing and other equestrian events. (pasturegallop.com)
Non-gaited horses can also do the four-beat gaits - the way of moving while galloping, cantering, trotting, and walking. (simplehorselife.com)
Though gaited horses often achieve the standard gaits, how they perform four-beat gaits and the two-beat racing gaits distinguishes them from the non-gaited horses. (simplehorselife.com)
Ambling gaited horses can comfortably travel long distances, but not for riding in courses with the many obstacles. (simplehorselife.com)
Gallop races are generally the most widespread variant, with the jockey always riding on the back of the galloping horses. (giedovandergarde.com)

When a horse is galloping by, it is a really fast thing to see so counting the beats of the gait can be kind of hard. (insiderhorse.com)
If you are able to count four beats in a single stride and the horse is moving at a nice clip, it is most likely that they are galloping. (insiderhorse.com)
This incredible speed is only able to be achieved at a gallop which is what makes the speed of travel one way to tell if a horse is galloping or performing another gait. (insiderhorse.com)
Because of this, if you can't detect a lead and the horse is traveling at a fast speed, they are likely galloping. (insiderhorse.com)
There are a few riding disciplines that include galloping in them as the main gait that a horse will perform. (insiderhorse.com)

Rider4
That leaves about half a round (including one long side) reserve in case of mistakes or if the rider chooses to try to improve their mark for a certain gait. (landsmot.is)
The only difference is that in the Young Adults class all marks for gaits and willingness/spirit and form under rider have no extra weighing, whereas in the Adult B-class the willingness and form under the rider count double. (landsmot.is)
Willingness/spirit and form under rider are multiplied by 2, but the marks for the gaits have no extra weighing. (landsmot.is)
The rider only has to show one long side in each gait in order to receive a mark, they can turn around once if they want to and they can show the gaits in any order they want for each gait to come out as good as possible. (landsmot.is)
