Standardbreds are usually bred to be either Trotters or Pacers, but can occasionally make good saddle seat horses as they can occasionally be found to rack due to their diverse breeding background.

What are the gaits of a horse?

It depends on the type of horse you are talking about. A normal, everyday sort of breed then they would have 4 gaits, walk trot canter and gallop. Some breeds have more than four gaits. For example, the Standardbred can pace, the Tennessee Walker has a running walk, etc. This gaits are unique to their specific breeds. Within each gait, there are variations, especially for a dressage horse. These are extended, collected, working, and medium. However, these are variations and NOT gaits. A gait is defined by a unique footfall. Variations, on the other hand, take place within a gait and have to do with the speed of the gait and the collection of the horse.

What does a walking trail horse mean?

A walking trail horse is simply a horse that you can take on trails at a walking speed. That's the literal meaning of the question; but as a trail rider and author of Basic Training for a Safe Trail Horse I would say that "walking trail horse" refers to a gaited breed of trail horse like the Tennessee Walker. TW's are the most common of walking horses, but there are many other gaited breeds that perform comfortable gaits that can be described as a "walking" gait. Many of these gaits are performed at speeds comparable to the gaits of trotting or cantering in non-gaited breeds.
