Fox TrotThis article is about a horse's gait. See Foxtrot (disambiguation) for other meanings.
Fox trot or foxtrot is a pace of a horse. It may be described as broken diagonal gait (broken trot). It this gait, a front hoof hits the ground a split second earlier than the opposite rear hoof, then a pause, then the same for the other diagonal pair of hoofs. This produces a distinctive sound, sometimes memorized by the phrase "a chunk ... of meat". This kind of gait is less joggy compared to the square trot.
