Gait

Gait means the way a horse moves, such as walk, trot or canter. Lameness may show as a change in rhythm, stride length, balance, weight-bearing or how the horse uses a limb.

Gait analysis

Gait analysis is careful assessment of how the horse moves, either by a trained eye or with measurement tools. It helps turn "something feels off" into clearer information your vet can use.
