The correct answer is Option (4) → Spinning
A horse moves in set ways called gaits: walk, trot, canter and gallop, from slowest to fastest.
| Word | Meaning | Group |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Trotting | a horse's gait faster than a walk, in which the legs move in diagonal pairs | a horse's gait |
| (2) Cantering | a horse's smooth gait faster than a trot but slower than a gallop | a horse's gait |
| (3) Galloping | a horse's fastest gait, with all four feet off the ground at one point in each stride | a horse's gait |
| (4) Spinning (the odd one) | turning round and round quickly on one spot | not one of a horse's gaits |
