A pacer moves it legs laterally, that is right front and right hind together, while a trotter moves it's legs forward in diagonal pairs, that is, right front and left hind, then left front and right hind. A sulky is light weight two-wheeled cart with bicycle wheels. The driver is seated on the sulky and carries a long, light weight whip. The whip is used to signal the horse by tapping or to make noise by striking the side of the sulky.
