a measure taken from the space between the two feet of a man, in walking; usually reckoned two feet and a half, and in some men a yard or three feet.

The geometrical pace is five feet; and 6000 such paces make one degree of the equator.

in the manege, is of three kinds, viz. walk, trot, and gallop; to which may be added an amble, because some horses have it naturally.

Horses which go shuffling or mixed paces, between the walk and amble, are for the most part of no value; which commonly proceeds from their fiery temper, and sometimes from a weakness in their reins or legs.
