Walk or Canter is a type of GAIT, which is the manner of moving the feet when walking, running, or galloping. Walk or Canter is a type of GAIT that is slower than a gallop but faster than a trot. It is a four-beat GAIT, meaning that the horse's hooves hit the ground in a sequence of four beats. The horse's hind legs move together and the front legs move together, creating a smooth, even rhythm. Walk or Canter is often used in dressage and show jumping, as it allows the horse to maintain a steady pace and control its movements.
