An Arab and His Steed.
The stepping-pace or single foot is the most spectacular gait ever developed in a saddle horse. It is a series of synchronised movements in which the horse’s feet come down in an easy, rapid rotation which gets over long distances readily and with great comfort to the rider. The animal’s feet strike the ground in regular pitter-patter tattoo, no two coming to earth at the same instant. It is the acme of style and perfection as a saddle gait.
