Different gaits for disciplines

Hello! 2014 Cyberhunt winner 100 lessons completed 150 lessons completed 200 lessons completed 250 lessons completed 300 lessons completed 350 lessons completed 400 lessons completed

It would be great if we could have a few lessons outlining the different gaits and their associated terminology in the different disciplines and even within the same discipline. Maybe a collaboration between riders in different styles of rising. So a dressage rider as opposed to a show jumper or cross country rider and a working western horse as opposed to a pleasure trail or arena trail.

There's so many different styles and sometimes it gets confusing. Especially for myself who wishes to get into western pleasure but then see horses where a 'lope' is slower than a trot or jog and it looks unnatural.
