Quarry - the fastest gait . The horse's body bends rhythmically in the lower back, and the hind legs are thrown out in front of the front ones. The sequence of movements is almost like a gallop and can be considered as its quick option.
A quarry consists of a series of jumps with a very elongated body. In one row the horse overcomes a distance of 3-4 times the length of his body. Only two hooves are heard [1] .
