Any one out there able to give me some examples of the correct usage of "ar cosa in airde" meaning "galloping" as in horses galloping or indeed any other big four-legged animal galloping?

I know that "ag sodar" means "trotting", but is there any other verb that means galloping or does one have to always use the "cosa in airde" formula?
