The canter, lope, gallop and/or run for the horse is as easy as breathing. It is a three-beat gait, as opposed to the walk which is a four-beat gait and the trot is a two-beat gait. The fastest of all gaits, the front legs reach out in front, swinging from the shoulder. The hind feet hit the ground, quickly, first one then the other, pushing the horse forward to maintain his speed. The horse's nostrils are large to take in extra oxygen, supplying his heart, lungs and entire body, as he runs from prey (in his natural habitat). Naturally athletic, the healthy horse loves to run.
