The horse moves with his weightwell back on the hind quarters and with high action infront. It is a modified pace without the rolling action ofthe true pace. The sequence of beats is right hind, rightfront, left hind, and left front. This is the fourth gait offive-gaited show horses.
Some of these horses are so hard wired in the pace that they will not do any other gait, even when free in a pasture. However, most pacey horses are not stuck in the gait to that degree, and with training can ge persuaded to do a more desirable gait.
