They're called Trotters. Their legs move diagonally - right hind, left fore. Left hind, right fore.

Pacers have a lateral gait - both left feet move together, both right feet move together.

They can. Their various gaits are the running walk, flat walk, trot, fox trot, rack and single foot. Some of these gaits are not allowed in the show ring.

If you think a horse is lame, you should trot it on a lead rope and jog with it to see if it is limping. If you still think the horse is lame, contact a vet.

From April Reeves, Horseman's U.com: Diagonals were created to enhance and improve the movement of the horse as you post. Diagonals allow the outside front leg (in a bend) to extend farther (it has more distance to travel) AND to allow weight OFF the inside leg during the rise of that leg, since it carries the majority of the weight when circling or bending. “Rise and fall with the front leg on the wall” is often used to describe ‘when’ to rise the post, but when no wall is present, you rise with the outside front leg to the bend you are riding. If you are riding a straight line, you can ride either diagonal, especially on the trail. To keep you and your horse from tiring quickly or getting sore, change your diagonal often.

A trotter, in the USA, generally refers to a Standardbred that races using the trotting (DIAGONAL) gait in its' races.

There are many potential answers to that, and opinions would differ. The biggest jump race is probably the Aintree Grand National, held on the first Saturday of April near Liverpool in England. The Epsom Derby, also in England, could be argued to be the biggest flat race, though there are other contenders.

With the Norman stock not fast enough for the French, they started breeding that horse with English thoroughbreds. They also continued to keep working on a new breed so English Hunter stallions were added to the mix and eventually mixing all those breeds with the Norfolk Roadster making a French Trotter.

Almost certainly as old as the domesticated history of the horse - believed to be about 6000 years.

POEP in flat racing stands for "Post Position Earnings Potential." It refers to the potential earnings of a horse based on its starting position in a race. This metric helps assess how advantageous or disadvantageous a particular post position may be, considering historical performance data. Understanding POEP can aid trainers and bettors in making informed decisions regarding race strategies and betting options.

Depends on what class you are entering it in! If you are entering your Standardbred in a hunter class, for example, you will need a very plain hunter bridle- no flashy browbands! In most English classes it is considered standard to braid the mane, and either pull or braid the tail. If you are showing the horse in a Western class though, you will probably want to leave the mane unbraided, but its a good idea to pull it just to make it look neater.

In terms of tack, I would really go by what class you are entering. For most English classes, a basic snaffle bridle, all-purpose saddle and clean, nice looking saddleblanket are common. Check with the show organiser whether breastplates and martingales are allowed for the class you want to enter.

In-hand English is a bit of a grey area, it really depends on your horses look. For a Standardbred with a very fine, thoroughbred type head, a rolled leather show halter can look very appealing, but for a Standardbred with a heavy head or 'Roman' nose, a thicker halter (an undecorated western for example) will look better. Once again, check with the show organiser if there is particular tack you need for your breed class.

If you are showing in Western classes then I would recommend buying a western halter. For events under saddle, you will need a Western or Australian saddle. A Navajo saddleblanket can look very nice in Western classes, and you can get different colours to match to your tack. the grooming standards for Western are quite different from English. The mane is generally left unbraided, but pulled and smoothed down with hair gel, and the tail is usually pulled but unbraided. I would recommend trimming the tail to just under the hocks, for a neater line, but it really depends on what will flatter your individual horse.

I cannot stress enough though, that it depends on what class you want to go into! Generally speaking you will need to clip a bridle path, but I'm unsure whether this is needed for all Western classes. If you put effort into washing your horse, braiding/pulling and helping him look his smartest with hoof lacquer and a little gloss, then you will be well on your way to having a show winner!

In Oklahoma the minimum age for betting on a horse is 18. This is generally the case to bet in casinos too, however some can be a minimum of 21 years.

Trotting is a gait, but skipping isn't. Trotting is like running, and the horse's legs move in diagonal pairs. In English riding, riders post to the trot.

Checking gait is essential for assessing a person's mobility and balance, which can provide insights into their overall health and functional ability. Abnormalities in gait can indicate underlying medical conditions, musculoskeletal issues, or neurological disorders. Additionally, gait analysis can help identify fall risk, enabling timely interventions to enhance safety and mobility. Overall, it serves as a critical component of comprehensive physical examinations.
