Defintion of Single Foot

By Katherine Blocksdorf, About.com

Definition: Depending on the breed of horse you are talking about this may also be called a slow gait, stepping pace, or amble. These have a footfall pattern similar to a walk and are comfortable to ride because there is a minimum of bounce.
Also Known As: Depending on the breed and local vernacular single foot gaits may be called running walk, tolt and other variations.
