  Galloping is the fastest gait. Sources aren't needed, this is common knowledge among horse people. In fact I believe it's common knowledge among the vast population. Common knowledge questions do not need clarification.  

  

Answer 12

ok yes it is a gait, meaning the fastest, but actually horses have a FOUR beat gait when running too. I had read this a long time ago in a fact book. It is not a TWO beat gait that is a TROT people! walk is four, trot two canter three gallop three(with suspension of all legs) and four too.

Answer 13

     n : a fast gait of a horse; a two-beat stride during which all

         four legs are off the ground simultaneously.

Absolutely a gait, and a fun one at that!
