I thought this was interesting.
Why is it called a Missouri Fox Trotter?
The fox trot, the gait that makes this horse like a dancer, is a syncopated two-beat gait. The horse walks with his front feet and trots with his hind feet. The name comes from the fox which leaves only two tracks. Its hind foot steps in the track left by the front one.
