New Ah, so "the pace" is...
..."passgång"!

Silly me, should have figured; from the similarity in the names, if nothing else.

So, do you Anglophones say that camels and llamas (and fuktifino what all species; cattle?) do "the pace", too? In Swedish, they're all "passgångare".

Which has probably contributed to Swedes looking down on that gait, in horses -- and perhaps especially in people. "Jävla passgångare!" is most definitely not a compliment.

Oh, and that reminds me: This can lead to some unintended hilarity, in a country with military conscription ("the draft")... You're *supposed* to move your arms in counter-rythm to your legs, when marching in formation. (Actually, you're probably supposed to even when you're just walking on your own.)

I suspect that in countries where military service is voluntary, people who walk like that either never join the armed forces, or they get out when they find out they just can't walk like they're supposed to.
