a horse trots by moving its legs in a two beat fashion on a diagonal so for instance if the front left leg is forward so is the hind right the other two legs will be back
When a horse is "pacing" both legs on the same side are moving forward at the same time. When trotting, opposite legs are moving forward at the same time.
