The term 'At a Pace' can be broken down into two crossword solutions: TROT (4 letters) and STEP (4 letters). TROT is a type of gait in which a horse moves its legs in diagonal pairs, with the left hind leg and right front leg moving together, followed by the left front leg and right hind leg. It is faster than a walk but slower than a gallop. STEP is a movement made by lifting one foot and putting it down in a different place, usually in a regular pattern. It is often used as a form of exercise or to move from one place to another.
