Walk - a four beat gait. The horse will be going at its slowest and when it lifts one foot the other three should be on the ground. Trot - a two beat gait. The horse will have two feet on and two feet off the ground. In a diagonal pattern. So if its front right is off the ground so is its back left. Canter - a three beat gait. The horse will be going slower then a gallop but faster then a trot. Gallop - a four beat gait. This gait is similar to the canter but it is much faster. You see Kentucky Derby races horses going at this pace. Other Gaits include: Pace, Tolt, Fox Trot, Rack The following is a website where you can view and read about all the horse gaits. http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_gaits
