The third fastest gait of a horse is know as the canter.
There are 4 main gaits (speeds) that horses have. The walk is the slowest. After that is the trot, then the canter, and then the gallop.
The gallop.
Horses gaits are some what similar to the human gaits. This is the order from slowest to fastest: walk, trot, lope, canter, jog, gallop(gallop being the fastest)
The gallop is faster than a canter, and the canter is faster then a trot.
Race horses only have a couple of speeds, fast and faster. During a race the horse uses the fastest gallop he has. Lope, canter or gallop, they are all a three-beat gait.

Horses can walk, trot or canter. They do not skip. The 4(normal) gaits are walk trot canter gallop, whilst you do get some such as extended moves and collected moves etc etc Most horses walk, trot, canter and gallop. The gallop is actually a fast canter but instead of having a 3 beat gait it has a 4 beat gait. There are also special breeds of horses that do other gaits. These horses are called "gaited". Some breeds that are gaited include: Rocky Mountain Horses, Kentucky Saddle Horses, Tennessee Walkers, Icelandics and Missouri Fox trotters.
The canter is a gait, in other words, a speed or pace a horse is traveling at. The gaits start off at a walk, a four beat gait, then trot, a two beat gait (opposite legs move in sync), then canter (a three beat gait) and then a gallop, which, like the walk, is also a four beat gait.
