Walking for the most part.  I'd say mostly flat walking, with some regular 
walking and 
maybe a couple of short parts that might have been running walk.   I think I 
also saw one 
brief glimpse of step pace, where she changed his direction and he seemed a 
little 
resistant.  Overall, that's a lovely horse - reminds me of Blaze, a gorgeous 
palomino TWH 
pleasure horse that my buddy down the road owned when we were kids.   Good for 
the rider 
for not pushing the speed too.   It's always best to let the horse get really 
comfortable 
in his gait(s) before asking for more speed.  Many nicely gaited horses will 
step pace (or 
hard pace) if pushed too fast, or if they lose their relaxation, and it would 
be a shame 
to rush this horse past his nice natural gaits.
