Gallop is a fast, four-beat gait commonly associated with horses. During a gallop, the horse moves its legs in a specific sequence: the back leg on one side, the front leg on the same side, followed by the opposite back leg, and finally the opposite front leg. This gait allows horses to cover large distances quickly and is often used in racing and other equestrian activities. In addition to horses, the term "gallop" can also refer to the way certain other animals, like zebras and deer, move when they are running at high speeds. Galloping is characterized by a rhythmic and powerful motion, making it an efficient way for animals to escape predators or travel long distances.
