What gait is this Icelandic Horse doing? She's not set in gait; the gal is doing some gait training, and doing a nice job. She's not forcing her into a frame, or pulling on the reins, or having her fight the bit.
She appears to be moving in and out of some easy gaits. Can you identify what is happening?
This Icelandic Horse mare is doing a lateral gait. From the naked eye, the laterals are working together and landing at very close to the same time, making it a pace. Slow motion shows a slight difference in the landing of the front foot and the back foot on the same side. Probably not enough difference to call it a stepping pace.
