The term 'Easy Gait' is used to describe the four different gaits of a horse, which are LOPE, TROT, CANTER, and AMBLE. LOPE is a slow, relaxed gait that is similar to a gallop, but with less speed and more suspension. TROT is a two-beat gait that is faster than a walk, but slower than a CANTER. CANTER is a three-beat gait that is faster than a TROT, but slower than a gallop. AMBLE is a four-beat gait that is slower than a TROT and is often referred to as a 'running walk'. Finally, jogtrot is a two-beat gait that is slower than a TROT and is often used for long-distance riding. All of these gaits are considered to be easy on the horse and rider, hence the term 'Easy Gait'.
