ambling
Strolling without hurry
Ambling is walking at a slow, relaxed pace without urgency or fixed purpose.
The word suggests ease and leisure rather than destination: We spent the afternoon ambling through the old quarter.
Horses amble in a specific gait where both legs on one side move together, producing a smooth, unhurried motion.
