How do you explain trotting?

Trotting is a two-beat gait commonly seen in horses, where the legs on one side of the body move in unison with the legs on the opposite side. This rhythmic movement involves the horse lifting its diagonal pairs of legs—front left with hind right and front right with hind left—resulting in a steady, bouncing motion. Trotting is faster than walking but slower than cantering, making it an efficient way for horses to cover ground while maintaining balance. It’s often used in various equestrian disciplines for training and competition.
