What is a canter?

In: Care of Horses [Edit categories]

Answer:

Canter is 1 of the for pacer a horse can go these are

*Walk
*Trot
*Canter
*Gallop

These are in order of how fast the horse is going
Canter is where you sit deap in the saddle and move with the horse

It's a three-beat gait, like they said, between trot and gallop. This is the gait in which lead changes take place in regards to which leg (front right or front left) the horse uses for the downbeat of the gait. Personally, its my favorite because the rocking motion makes moving with the horse easy and relaxing.
