Gaited Horses

o_0
I've atleast only heard tölt used for the Icelandic gait..
And rack as the english counterpart..
You use tölt in swedish ? Wow, I'm learning mora about swedish every day !

I think it would be wise to get a nantive english speaker :)

Aww pretty horse! LOL I love the 'evil' pic, hehe!

Yeah.. and someone who knows a lot about the gaits.. XD!
It's really hard to see the differenses between different gaits when you don't even have a name for them in swedish, and only ever known that if it's not walk, trot or canter, it's some kind of tölt..XD

Thanks! xD Amazingly, people on Buke actually thought it was real and accused me for animal cruelty for not taking out a horse dentist..

All these words for gait in english confuse me !
Why do the e.g. have a word for fast version of a gait o_0 ?

Because the horse moves the legs differently? O__o I dunno... I read a good page that explained the differenses.. but to put that up in real life and notice it xD

(We should remove all gait names and replace them with ''standing still'', ''walking'', ''running'', ''running fast'' and ''moving in a funny way'' >_>)
Moving in a funny way would so apply to Crow..

haha
But really, some of these gait names, as far as I know, they're just.. faster ! Like if I would call fast walking... something else
Anyone care to shed some light on this for a girl whose english isn't all that great ?

I found another picture of him.. >_> It's not as much pace in it (the side whereboth legs are on the ground isn't paralell..like it is in the other photo..and it's not walk.. XD I remember that at least.. XD and it looked different and slower..)
Anyone who can see what he's doing there? >_> Aaah! What is my horse doing? :O

Standardbreds "Pace". When the legs on either side move with eachother (Eg. Left front and left hind move forwards, right front and right hind move back.) Lol I had a girl at a stable I use to ride at say all standardbreds "pace".There are "trotters" and "pacers".
