All horses move naturally with four basic [[horse gait|gaits]]:<ref name=HorseGaits32>[[#Harris|Harris]], p. 32</ref>
*the four-beat [[Horse gait#Walk|walk]], which averages {{convert|6.4|km/h}}; 
*the two-beat [[Trot|trot or jog]] at {{convert|13|to|19|km/h}} (faster for [[harness racing]] horses);
*the [[Canter and gallop|canter or lope]], a three-beat gait that is {{convert|19|to|24|km/h}}; 
*the [[Canter and gallop|gallop]], which averages {{convert|40|to|48|km/h}},<ref name=Harris47>[[#Harris|Harris]], pp.&nbsp;47–49</ref> but the world record for a horse galloping over a short, sprint distance is {{convert|70.76|km/h}}.<ref name=guinness>{{cite web|title = Fastest speed for a race horse|website = Guinness World Records| date=14 May 2008 |access-date = 8 January 2013|url = http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/fastest-speed-for-a-race-horse/|archive-date = 28 August 2017|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170828102736/http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/fastest-speed-for-a-race-horse|url-status = live}}</ref> 
Besides these basic gaits, some horses perform a two-beat [[horse gait|pace]], instead of the trot.<ref name=HorseGaits50>[[#Harris|Harris]], p. 50</ref> There also are several four-beat '[[ambling]]' gaits that are approximately the speed of a trot or pace, though smoother to ride. These include the lateral [[Ambling#Rack|rack]], [[Ambling|running walk]], and [[tölt]] as well as the diagonal [[Ambling gait|fox trot]].<ref name="Lieberman">{{cite journal |author=Lieberman, Bobbie | year=2007 |title=Easy Gaited Horses|journal=Equus|issue= 359|pages=47–51}}</ref> Ambling gaits are often genetic in some breeds, known collectively as [[gaited horse]]s.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Equus Staff | year=2007 |title=Breeds that Gait|journal=Equus |issue= 359|pages=52–54}}</ref> These horses replace the trot with one of the ambling gaits<!--but some horses both trot and amble, can the Harris book support adding this?-->.<ref name=HorseGaits51>[[#Harris|Harris]], pp. 50–55</ref>
