Trotting trail patterns appear the same as those of walking patterns, except the stride is longer and straddle may be narrower. At slow trot, the hind print registers posterior to the front print. At a faster trot, hind print registers anterior to the front print. As speed continues to increase, the hind foot registers farther anterior to the front foot. The side trot causes all front feet to register on one side and all hind feet to register on the other side of the line of travel.
Direction of travel is from bottom to top of figure.
