It's a nice slow foxtrot; a diagonal gait in which the front foot of the diaganol pair hits the ground an instant before the hind. Looks like a nice horse!
It's a slow foxtrot. The legs move diagonally with the front hitting before the back making it a 4 beat gait. If the time between each foot fall were equal it would be a slow running walk. As a general rule, the closer it is to a running walk the smoother it is.
I don't know what a flat walk is. The definition above of same side feet moving together with back hitting before front defines an amble or a stepping pace. I think that is different from a flat walk isn't it?
A flat walk is not a stepping pace or amble. It should not be lateral. It is very similar to a regular walk but with an elongated stride and a level of overstride in which the back hoof oversteps the track made by the front foot. I'm hoping that made sense...
It does look like a slow fox trot to me. The front hits the ground just before the rear diagonal hoof. I also see some headshake that is consistent with a foxtrot. I'd guess it's a fox walk or slow foxtrot.
Thanks for the compliment. My MFT and I are coming along since that video was posted. In my MFT world a flat walk is one thing and a running walk is quite another. Running walk is a TWH gait and closer to a broken pace. I watched your video and had some trouble with camera shake but thought I saw flat walk, foxtrot and hard trot. Need to learn how to slow down frames to get a closer look tho. Good Luck with her!
its a foxtrot. you can tell because the front foot hits the ground first, then the rear opposite. a flatwalk is rear foot first, then the front foot on the same side.
A fox trot. They're not called Missouri Fox Trotters for nothing. And a Tolt is a super fast trot seen in an icelandic pony, just to clear things up. I don't know what a flat foot walk is, but this is definitely a foxtrot.
its almost a fox trot at the end but its closer to a running walk. if you ask for more speed you will probably get a true fox trot.
