Gaits

A gait is how fast a horse moves. However some horses have a special gait. For example a Tennessee Walker can perform a running walk. Some horses have a special gait. Like between a canter and a gallop. Some gaited horses can do that and it would feel smooth. Now regular gaits that all horses can perform are the walk, trot, canter or lope, and gallop. The gallop is a four beat gait where you can distinctly hear all four hooves hit the ground.
