Pacing - Horse Racing (gambling) and demoness (medicine)


Pacing - Horse Racing (gambling)


Pacing is a ' laterial' gait in which the horse moves the legs on the same side back and forward together. Most pacers wear ' hopples' - straps connecting the legs on the same side. Pacing, or ' ambling' , is a natural gait for some breeds of horse (as well as giraffes and camels) and is faster than trotting by roughly 3 seconds per mile. Pacers are also less likely to ' break' , so they are more popular with punters than trotters, where the two gaits exist. As a result pacing dominates harness racing in the English-speaking world.

demoness (medicine)
