Explanation: usually, in equestrian circles, when referring to the 'gaits' of horses, I believe they use the expression 'in...' (just as for a car we might say "in second gear" — though my horsey friends tell me off if I refer to their gaits as gears!)
On the other hand, when used in a more informal or everyday context, I believe we more usually say "at a..." — and oddly enough, for no particular reason that I'm aware of, we DO tend to put in the 'a'
this would depend on your context...out of context it can be a verb or phrase..please post a phrase or sentence
