A single movement from one foot to the other in walking; a step.
The length of a step in walking or marching, reckoned from the heel of one foot to the heel of the other; -- used as a unit in measuring distances; as, he advanced fifty paces.
Manner of stepping or moving; gait; walk; as, the walk, trot, canter, gallop, and amble are paces of the horse; a swaggering pace; a quick pace.
A slow gait; a footpace.
Any single movement, step, or procedure.
A broad step or platform; any part of a floor slightly raised above the rest, as around an altar, or at the upper end of a hall.
To go; to walk; specifically, to move with regular or measured steps.
To move quickly by lifting the legs on the same side together, as a horse; to amble with rapidity; to rack.
To walk over with measured tread; to move slowly over or upon; as, the guard paces his round.
To measure by steps or paces; as, to pace a piece of ground. Often used with out; as, to pace out the distance.
A quadrupedal gait in which both legs on a side move in unison.
A lateral two-beat gain in which the right rear and front feet hit the ground at one time and the left rear and front feet strike the ground at another time.
(noun and verb) A gait characterized by two beats, with hoof s on the same side striking the ground together, unlike the trot. The pace is slightly faster, but not always as smooth. It is less likely to change to a gallop. Sometimes called "side-wheeling".
The rate of covering a specific distance while running or walking.
The pace is a two-beat lateral gait in which a horse moves both right feet and then moves both left feet. In a pace the front and rear foot are picked up and then set down simultaneously making only one beat. A pacing horse will move its head side to side to counter the motion of its feet.

1. The variation within the gait; e.g., collected, working, lengthened, medium, extended. The variation in meters per minute occurs ideally because of the change in stride lenght, with no change in tempo. [NOTE: The FEI Rules for Dressage are at this time without any specific term for what in English (per Webster) is correctly called "pace." Further, the FEI translation of the French l'allure was "pace," rather than the more exact English translation of "gait".] 2. A gait in which the lateral pairs of legs move in unison (also called "amble") - not a dressage gait.
The length of a full step in quick time; 30 inches.
a gait found in many horses that don't trot, where legs on the same side of the body move together.
see Gait (above).
1. the rate of moving 2. a step in walking, trotting or galloping 3. a deviation from regular walk where the legs on one side are stepping out simultaneously. The right hind with the right front, then left hind with the left front, thus we hear only two hoof beats. Horses traveling in this speed naturally are called pacers. In the past women using the sidesaddle during longer travels favored the pacers. Today the pacers in racing can cover the distance of one mile in less than two minutes. The numeric sequence during pace, the lower #1 being the right hind leg.(2) (1) (2) (1)
a lateral two beat gait mostly performed by gaited horses
A two-beated gait in which the front and rear limbs on the same side move forward or back at the same time. It is a medium speed gait and is the least stable. See more information on gaits.
A lateral gait that tends to promote a rolling motion of the body. The left foreleg and left hind leg advance in unison, then the right foreleg and right hind leg.
A gait at which the left foreleg and the left hind leg advance in unison, then the right foreleg and right hind leg. Pacing tends to produce a rolling motion of the body.
A pace (or double-pace) is a measure of distance used in Ancient Rome. It is the measure of a full stride from the position of the heel when it is raised from the ground to the point the heel is set down again at the end of the step. In Rome this was standardized as five Roman feet (about 1.48 metres or 58.1 English inches).
