I miss my Mustang mare Desert Rose. She was gaited though I never figured out exactly what lateral gait it was. It was 4 beat so it wasn't a pace but it was like I had extensions on my legs and was walking with really big steps. You let you legs swing like you are walking just behind her shoulders as the went forward and back. One day we had some dogs rush us on the road. She hates dogs. She took me up an embankment that I would have had to grab the sapling trees to pull myself up if I was walking. One of the dogs had been up on the embankment and there was NO WAY she was going to let him keep the high ground on her. I just gave her the rein and flattened myself to her neck.

a four beat gait is the same pattern as a walk. In Saddle breds that would be called Racking... In icelandics the gait is called Tolt.... and in Tennessee Walkers its a running walk. Can be as fast as a medium Canter.
