Nickelodeon Magazine - Faster or Slower?
In the 2001 June/July issue of "Nickelodeon Magazine", turn to page 54. Number four of "Faster than a Speeding", the question is, "Which is faster, a carrousel or a walking horse?" Look at the picture of a horse. It is obviously trotting. It's not a good example of a WALKING horse, now is it? So tell me, which is faster, a carrousel, or a trotting horse? (The answer is a trotting horse, but for a walking horse a carrousel would be faster.) (Carrousel is also mispelled)

If carrousel was spelled carousel it is still correct. Carrousel has two spellings in the American English language.

Maybe a racehorse's trot is faster, but not a regular ranch horse!

The answer is simple. I'm quite sure this is not a slipup, it's merely the reader's mistake. When the magazine says "walking horse" it does not mean a horse that is walking. A walking horse is a horse with a special gait (a gait is a certain type of walk that some horses have), such as a Tennessee Walker or a Fox Trotter. I own a Fox Trotter so I can tell you, she can certainly outwalk a carousel. Thank you, Caley.
