Gait faster than a walk (4)
I believe the answer is:
trot
'gait faster than a walk' 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 "Clip (horse)" , "Run with short steps" , "Left wing" , "Slowish run, of horse or person" , "Run at moderate pace" .)
