..hes ot purebred idthink...and his build looks about right for one...but when i rode him before his injury and all before then his "trot" or gait or w/e wasnt smoothe at all...his lope can be sometimes but hes very quick when he lopes or canters...and whats the difference between the two? [Running Horse]

You asked this same question yesterday and got quite a few responses. Why don't you look at that thread?

If your horse paces training and shoeing can bring out the TWH gait. Some TWHs rack (singlefoot) instead of doing the Running Walk as well.
Your horse might be one of the TWH's that need help to get them to gait. If I remember correctly you said your horse is only part TWH and it is likely that it did not inherit the gait at all.
You need to talk to people who are more knowledgable about the TWH and the "gaiting out" of the breed.
