Gaited horses are horse breeds that have selective breeding for natural gaited tendencies, that is, the ability to perform one of the smooth-to-ride, intermediate speed, four-beat horse gaits, collectively referred to as ambling gaits. [1] In most "gaited" breeds, an ambling gait is a hereditary trait.
The fastest "walks" with a four-beat footfall pattern are actually the lateral forms of ambling gaits such as the running walk, singlefoot, and similar rapid but smooth intermediate speed gaits. If a horse begins to speed up and lose a regular four-beat cadence to its gait, the horse is no longer walking but is beginning to either trot or pace.
Paso Fino performing the "classic fino', a slow, isochronous lateral gait. All ambling gaits have four beats. Some ambling gaits are lateral gaits, meaning that the feet on the same side of the horse move forward, but one after the other, usually in a footfall pattern of right rear, right front, left rear, left front.
The speed of this gait is comparable to the speed of a trot but is much smoother. The paso largo is a fast, lateral, four-beat gait in which the horse can reach speeds equivalent to a canter or slow gallop. The paso largo is not just an increase in speed but also shows a distinct extension in stride.
The gallop is the fastest gait of the horse, averaging about 40 to 48 kilometres per hour (25 to 30 mph). [3] The speed of the canter varies between 16 and 27 kilometres per hour (10 and 17 mph) [3] depending on the length of the horse's stride. A variation of the canter, seen in western riding, is called a lope, [3] and is generally quite slow ...

Animals will use different gaits for different speeds, terrain, and situations. For example, horses show four natural gaits, the slowest horse gait is the walk, then there are three faster gaits which, from slowest to fastest, are the trot, the canter, and the gallop. Animals may also have unusual gaits that are used occasionally, such as for ...
