∙ 11y agoThe trot is the gait itself. Each gait (Walk, trot, canter, gallop, etc) have their own series of foot falls and 'beats'. The trot is a diagonal two beat gait, the horse moves opposite legs in pairs with two feet hitting the ground at the same time while the other two are moving through the air.
