∙ 14y agoThere are 4 gaits that horses use:
- walk
- trot
- canter
- gallop
A canter is one step up from a trot. Trotting is a two beat gait which is normally posted to, and the horse moves its legs in pairs. a canter is a 3 beat gait where the horse leads with either its right or left leg. a canter is faster than a trot.

What competion do standardbred horses run in?
trotting or pacing
Commentators in horse trotting and pacing events describe a horse as racing without cover. What does this phrase mean?
Answer: In horse racing some horses need "cover" because they don't produce their best efforts when leading from the front. so the jockey keeps the horse behind a couple of other runners, which provide this "cover", until the final stages of the race when the horse is encouraged to do his best... I guess this applies also to trotting races.
