If you are actually riding the horse, you should (obviously) know which gait you are in. If not, look at how fast the horse is going, the rider's position (forward seat?) the hoof pattern etc.
Four main gaits:Walk,trot,canter and gallop. But there are other gaits for certain breeds such as the Icelandic. There are also dressage gaits such as extended or collected trot etc. :D Answer four main gaits
The gaits are the different ways a horse moves his legs, for example in the trot, the horse has a 2x gait movement, the walk is a 4x movement and the canter is a 3x gait.
Walk Trot Canter Gallop
walk, trot, canter, gallop
No. The gaits of a horse are Walk, Trot, Canter, Gallop. They do that in the wild
There are 4 gaits (almost) every horse would have Walk Trot Canter Gallop There are 2 gaits most horses do not have Tolt (a gait between a Trot and canter) Flying pace (a fast running walk) (most Icelandic horses have these 2 gaits along with the other 4 gaits, only some other breeds may have those 2 special gaits) (when I said almost in the first line, I meant only a few horses have just three gaits)
If you are speaking of gaits like the Fox Trot and Running walk you will need a specific breed of horse as these gaits cannot be taught to ungaited horses. Also the term gaited is not really correct as all horses have gaits, but the term 'easy Gaited' is correct for horses possessing extra gaits and is becoming much more popular a term.
The Rocky Mountain Horse has the following gaits: Walk, trot, canter and an extra 'ambling' gait called a single footing gait, which can reach speeds of 6 to 16 mph.
There are 4 gaits a horse will use: Walk, Trot, Canter/Lope, or Gallop.
lopes walks (in a horse sense)
Movements of the horse are called gaits. You have 4 gaits and these are ;walk, trot, canter and gallop. Walk and gallop are 4 time gaits, trot is 2 and canter is 3. To mean a X time gait is to be able to count the number of legs moving speratly from one another before the gait starts again.
most of the time that it is a gaited horse. if it's too pacey then you need to ride it out of it and get it timed up.
