∙ 13y agoHere's a basic overview of a horse's paces.
- The walk. This is a 4 beat gait. This means that the hooves fall to the ground 4 times before starting the next step. The sequence of the gait goes: left hind, left fore, right hind, right fore.
- The trot. This is a 2 beat gait. The footfall is: left fore and right hind for beat 1, right fore and left hind for beat 2.
- The canter. This is a 3 beat gait. The footfall for the right rein is: left hind, right hind and left fore, right fore. The footfall for the left rein is: right hind, left hind and right fore, left fore.
- The gallop. This is a 4 beat gait. The footfall for the right rein is: left hind, right hind, left fore, right fore. The footfall for the left rein is: right hind, left hind, right fore, left fore.
*The horses left leg in front is the left fore, left leg behing the left hind. Right leg in front right fore, right leg behind, right hind.
