A gaited horse, also known as a smooth-gaited horse, refers to a horse that possesses a natural, smooth, and fluid gait. Other synonyms for gaited horse include ambling horse, single-footed horse, rack horse, and pace horse. An ambling horse is a horse that has the ability to smoothly move its legs in lateral movements, resulting in a comfortable ride for the rider. A single-footed horse is a horse that has a unique four-beat gait, making it one of the smoothest rides available.
