Oh wow, how cool is that! A trotter with a proper rig! That's something that you don't see every day. In the US, there is a specific breed of horse that is bred and raced specifically at the trot. They are called Standardbreds and their specialty is pacing. This is when the legs on one side go together and then the other. Giraffes do this as well, and other animals. Horses don't usually have this kind of movement but Standardbreds are bred to encourage this trait. Also, pacing is faster than trotting so as a racing breed, it's preferred. (They are also raced at the trot) If you want to read more and see pictures, here's a link! :) allaboutstandardbreds.blogspot.com/2009/01/difference-between-pacer-and-trotter.html
