Brisk gait (4)

I believe the answer is:

trot

(Other definitions for trot that I've seen before include "Militant socialist (informal)" , "equestrians sometimes associate with rising" , "Left-winger - move at a fair speed" , "Run with short steps" , "Hurry along" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the LA Times.
