447. GAITS
(a) The following terminology shall apply in all
western classes:
(1) The walk is a natural, flat-footed, four-beat gait. The
horse must move straight and true at the walk. The walk must be
alert, with a stride of reasonable length in keeping with the size of the
horse.
(2) The jog is a smooth, ground-covering two-beat diagonal
gait. The horse works from one pair of diagonals to the other pair.
The jog should be square, balanced and with straight, forward movement
of the feet.
Horses walking with their back feet and trotting in
the front are not considered performing the required gait
. When
asked to extend the jog, it moves out with the same smooth way of
going.
(3) The lope is an easy, rhythmical three-beat gait. Horses
moving to the left should lope on the left lead. Horses moving to the
right should lope on the right lead. Horses traveling at a four-beat
gait are not considered to be performing at a proper lope. The horse
should lope with a natural stride and appear relaxed and smooth. It
should be ridden at a speed that is a natural way of going. The head
should be carried at an angle which is natural and suitable to the
horse’s conformation at all gaits.

Als de vette gedeelten als een break-of-gait gezien gaat worden is het reden voor DQ, anders niet.
