1. Amblenoun

   A pace or movement in which the horse removes both his leg on one side; as, on the far side, he removes his fore and hinder leg of the same side at one time, whilst the legs on the near side stand still; and when the far legs are upon the ground, the near side removes the fore leg and hinder leg, and the legs on the far side stand still. An amble is the first pace of young colts, but when they have strength to trot, they quit it. There is no amble in the manage; riding-masters allow only of walk, trot, and gallop. A horse may be put from a trot to a gallop without stopping; but cannot be put from an amble to a gallop without a stop, which interrupts the justness of the manage. Farrier’s Dict.

   Etymology: from to amble.

   Etymology: ambler, Fr. ambulo, Lat.

   1. To move upon an amble. [See Amble.]

   It is good, on some occasions, to enjoy as much of the present, as will not endanger our futurity; and to provide ourselves of the virtuoso’s saddle, which will be sure to amble when the world is upon the hardest trot. John Dryden, Virgil, Dedication.

   2. To move easily, without hard shocks, or shaking.

   Who ambles time withal? —— A rich man that hath not the gout; for he lives merrily, because he feels no pain; knowing no burden of heavy tedious penury: him time ambles withal. William Shakespeare, As you like it.

   3. In a ludicrous sense, to move with submission, and by direction; as, a horse that ambles, uses a gait not natural.

   A laughing, toying, wheedling, whimpering she,
   Shall make him amble on a gossip’s message,
   And take the distaff with a hand as patient,
   As ere did Hercules. Nicholas Rowe, Jane Shore.

   4. To walk daintily and affectedly.

   I am rudely stampt, and want love’s majesty,
   To strut before a wanton ambling nymph. William Shakespeare, Ric. III.
