A skip is NOT a gait it is trained in dressage.
It can be performed at the walk, trot, or canter
Welsh Cob---Answer From Horse Isle Also, any breed of horse that is gaited. These are horses bred to provide a comfortable ride because of a special gait. Usually, a gaited horse has a conformation that makes dressage difficult for it to perform.
In horses, a gait is like what pace they are going at. The four gaits a horse has arae walk, trot,canter,and gallop. In novice + dressage you get different levels of the gaits like extended trot. Also, some breeds of horse have a special gait, the walking trot.
There are a few different gaits horses have, and they are separated by speed and rhythm/steps. So there's: Walk - four beats, slowest gait Trot/Jog - two beat, slightly faster. Sometimes this can be an extended trot, like in dressage, where the horse takes longer steps. Canter/Lope - three beats. This tends to be the main gait, at least in English/Western horse shows. Gallop - four beats and the fastest gait. Hope that helps!
A pirouette is a dressage movement where the horse spins, keeping it's hind feet in place. In dressage it is performed at the canter, but when you pirouette at the walk it is called a turn on the haunches.
No dressage is not timed
it is a dressage move

There are no "dressage horses" but some breeds are used for dressage more than others,, e.g. you would probably use a warmblood rather than a cob. But basically, a dressage horse is a horse that does dressage :)
