Oh, nuts. And I now remember the bit about the footfalls (although 
pace and trot do not have this footfall pattern).  What is the 
difference between the running walk and the tolt?

>Tolt is a four-beat gait, but it's a lateral gait.
What makes it a lateral gait (vs a "what" gait?)

>All gaits have the same footfall:  LH, LF, RH, RF

I am going to watch the second DVD tonight or tomorrow.  Showtime is 
Friday.  Yikes.  Fortunately I am the token ignorant-of-gaits person so 
it looks I like am well-suited for the part.
