To go at the easy gait called an amble; -- applied to the horse or to its rider.
To move somewhat like an ambling horse; to go easily or without hard shocks.

A movement like the amble of a horse.
To amble is to take a leisurely walk, but not in the highest sense of the word "leisure." Until the 16th century, the word was used to refer to a particular (leisurely) gait of a horse; and, like a horse who walks slowly because it's exhausted, we who pride ourselves on "ambling" might as well be ambulating. The difference is one of pace, not mode. See: FREE TIME.
The slower form of the lateral pacing gait. (See Pacer)
a leisurely walk (usually in some public place)
A smooth, fast lateral gait; a less vigorous version of the pace. Both hind leg and foreleg on one side move forward at the same time, then both legs on the other side, and so on.
a relaxed, easy trot in between the walk and the show ring gait
A relaxed, easy gait in which the legs on either side move almost, but not quite, as a pair. Often seen as the transition movement between the walk and faster gaits.
