•Walk - very slow (4 mph) four-beat gait. When walking, a horse's legs follow this sequence: left hind leg, left front leg, right hind leg, right front leg. At the walk, the horse will always have one foot raised and the other three feet on the ground.
•Trot - faster than walk (8 mph) two-beat gait. In this gait, the horse moves its legs in unison in diagonal pairs. A very slow trot is sometimes referred to as a jog.
•Canter - faster then trot (10-17 mph) three-beat gait. In the canter a horse's legs follow this sequence: outside hind leg, inside hind and outside front legs together.
•Gallop - the fastest horse gait known as racing canter (25-30 mph). Legs sequence: left hind, right hind, left front, right front, where is a moment when all legs are off the ground.
There are many other gaits used in dressage and reinig about which I'll write later.
