toe in and toe out horses running style

Question
hello ma'am, may i know how do toe in or toe out horses gallop? i mean, taking a stride with one leg or taking with both fore legs like a frog hopping?

Answer
Rohit,

I do not quite understand this question.


The gallop is a four beat gait.
It does not matter if the hrose toes in or toes out.

The sequence of footfalls, if the horse is starting with theh left lead, is right hind, left hind, right front, left front, all hitting the ground separately in a quick rhythm.

A moment of suspension follows the four beats, when all four feet are off the ground.

The right lead would have the left hind beginning the gait.
