Harness racing gait is a term used to describe the type of gait used by horses in harness racing. The most common gait used is the TROT, which is a two-beat diagonal gait where the horse moves its legs in diagonal pairs. The horse's legs move in a 'trotting' motion, with the left hind leg and right front leg moving together, followed by the right hind leg and left front leg. This gait is faster than a walk but slower than a gallop, and is the preferred gait for harness racing.
