Description
Galloping is not a hop or a skip, and it should never become quick enough for the movememnt to become a run. Instead, it's a "toe-to-heal" movememnt where the back foot is sliding towards the leading foot.
Steps on Galloping
- Step forward with one foot
- The toes of your back foot chase the heel of your lead foot
- Both feet leave the ground, and you land on your back foot, followed by your lead foot
What to Watch For
- Gallop never becomes a run — slow down to focus on the movement
- Gallops are quiet movements — try to be quick and light on your feet
