Thanks to Dave Bird---St Hippo of Augustine for the description of the gait:
Gallop: Both rear legs scissor forward together as both front legs scissor back together, the forward legs hit the ground and swing over the foot raising off the ground at the rearmost position and swinging forward for the next stride.

Also thanks to Junghak Na for the excellent horse applet-animation that I stared at in awe for hours; and the Illinois State Museum-- Brookfield Zoo Museums in the Classroom for housing Eadweard Muybridge's classic photographs, The Horse in Motion from 1878.
