No, all horse breeds canter in the same sequence and the canter is always a three-beat gait. The Standardbred does have an unusual gait in that it can be easily trained to perform a lateral pace instead of the diagonal trot (ie the sequence is near hind/near fore, off hind/off fore instead of near hind/off fore, off hind/near fore). Some Standardbreds show a natural preference for this gait. The pace allows the horses to go faster in harness (trotting) races and so has been indirectly bred for when selecting race winners to breed.
Some breeds have a 4-beat intermediate 'ambling' gait between the walk and canter; in some horses it replaces the trot, while other horses can perform this gait as well as the trot. There are several ambling gaits. They all resemble either the trot or the pace in that they are either lateral or diagonal, but the hind foot falls a fraction earlier than the forefoot rather than at the same time as in the trot or pace. In a 'correct' ambling gait, the four beats should be even.
Some of the most common ambling gaits are the running walk (Tennessee Walking Horse), rack (Racking horse, this name is sometimes given to the gaits performed by other breeds ie. walkaloosa, Paso Fino, Peruvian Paso, Mangalarga Paulista, Rocky Mountain Horse), foxtrot (Missouri Foxtrotter) and tolt (Icelandic horse.) Some Standardbreds have been trained to perform one of these gaits, but an intermediate ambling gait is not associated with the breed.

What is the sequence of the footfall in the horse walk?
The horse has 3 basic gaits. Walk (4 beat), trot (2 beat) and canter/lope (3 beat). For the walk the horse will step forward with one hind foot and then the opposite front foot steps forward and visa-versa. Example: right hind=left front then left hind=right front. This only applies to the walk. Trot and canter have their own cadance.

Is there a difference between galloping and running?
A gallop is faster then a canter, but technically it is just longer... The front legs of the horse are placed farther in front of them, which does make them go faster, but most horses will only do this if they are naturally very eager to run (i.e. A race horse) or are very scared.
