THE WONDERFUL FIVE GAITS OF THE ICELANDIC HORSE

1. Walk, an even four-beat cadence, moving each foot independently.

2. Trot, a two-beat gait, with the front and back legs on opposite sides moving together.

3. Canter, a three-beat gait, also called gallop.

4. Tolt, an amazingly smooth four-beat travelling gait, where all four feet move in the same pattern as in the walk,
with higher action and more speed. This gait is often performed with full mugs of beer.

5. The Flying Pace, a two-beat gait where front and hind legs on the same side move forward and back at the same
time. This can go up to 35 mph! The gait of the gods!
