The term 'Easy Gallops' refers to two different types of horse riding. CANTERS (7 letters) is a three-beat gait in which the horse moves its legs in diagonal pairs, with one foot always leading. Lopes (5 letters) is a four-beat gait in which the horse moves its legs in lateral pairs, with one foot always leading. Both of these gaits are considered easy to ride and are often used for pleasure riding.
