Cantering a horse on a very hard surface can damage the canon leg bones on the horse. Special rubber boots are used on horses that work on such a surface to protect the leg bones. It is not advised to canter a horse on a road. Cantering on a road is definetly not advised but you can on a softer road other than cement...it IS advised if you must canter on a road you canter on a dirt road....please do not canter on cement it can also not only hurt your horse but yourself, think about how much it would hurt to fall on cement. ouch. -GingerGal
Must your horse return to walking if you want it to go from cantering to galloping?
DEFINITELY NOT! Canter is the 3rd gate, and gallop is the 4th gate, so if you bring your horse back to walk (the 1st gate), it would be extremely difficult for the horse to pick up a gallop. You would have to go straight from canter to gallop. I suggest that if you did not know that, you should not be galloping.

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.
How do you tell your horse to canter in German?
To tell (or ask) your horse to canter in German is""Gehen Sie zu einem Kanter."Translation is: Go into a canter.Some how I seriously doubt that any horse would understand that much German, let alone the formal (Sie) conjugation of the verb! Even if you did say such a thing to it, horsey people are intimate enough with their horses that they would use the informal Du form! Just use the stirrups and reins
My horse is in great shape but his canter is so bouncy that the only reason i fall off is because i get launched out of my saddle i would like him to be smooth so can i and how?
Slow the horse down to a collected canter/lope and learn to sit deep in the saddle. Ride lots of small circles- every time the horse starts to speed up drop a smaller circle. You need to have good HANDS and seat. If you can develop this you be able to ride just about any horse!
