Gallop

A gallop is a fast, rhythmic gait used by horses, characterized by a sequence of four beats, where each hoof hits the ground in a specific order. It allows the horse to cover ground quickly and efficiently, often used in racing or when a horse needs to move swiftly over long distances. The gait is smooth for the rider at certain speeds but can become bumpy if the horse is pushed too hard. Essentially, the gallop is the horse’s fastest natural movement, showcasing strength and agility.
