또각 또각


Explanation:
Mine is a slight variation from 따가닥 따가닥. Why? The difference is in the rhythm. 따가닥 따가닥 (takatak takatak) 또각 또각 (tokak tokak)
The horse is indoors; it's not likely to be galloping or running. If you're Korean you know that "takatak takatak" immediately conjures up the image of running horse in listner's mind, while "tokak tokak" makes him think the horse is walking.
