Fox gait (4)
I believe the answer is:
trot
'fox gait' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for trot that I've seen before include "Move quite fast" , "equestrians sometimes associate with rising" , "A slowish run, perhaps by horse" , "Not dead" , "Communist - horse pace faster that a walk" .)
