Well, It's hard to say. I have been riding since I was 12 & Have rode a few pony's in my time. So, For a pony I would say : 7 - 9 Mph. For a horse : 13 - 16Mph.
But It does depend on the Stamina & Motivation of the horse or pony but I would say that's the average speed for them!

∙ 12y agoit is best not to let a horse canter for a long time on a very hot day or in fact a normal day just take them for short little canters and then once the horse is fit enough they can then be taken on slightly longer ones keep doing that until your horse is fit enough..... if your then think that your horse is fit enough you would prove if you was cantering and she became out of breath so early, this a good way to test it if the horse starts to get out of breath wait a while and then start having short,tidy canters and soon she will be fit enough to handle a reasonable amount of time cantering..
P.S: DONT OVER DO IT ON THE CANTERING AS IT CAN CAUSE HORSES PROBLEMS IN THE LONG RUN..TAKE IT NICE AND STEADY, THE HORSE WONT GET FITTER IF YOU AINT PUTTER THE PREPARATION IN YOURSELF!!

Why won't your horse canter?
this is how you get a horse to canter: do a half halt, holding that energy in her, turn her head to the rail, or fence, and say "canter" very loudly and kick and cluck. good luck! it is really fun to canter bareback, too You probably won't need to kick most horses. A small amount of pressure from your outside leg just behind the girth will tell a well-trained horse to canter. If you are asking for the caner and the horse refuses, first make sure there is nothing causing him pain (a vet can look at his back and hocks for problems) and that the saddle fits without pinching. A horse won't canter if he's in pain. Make sure you ask for the canter from a steady, forward-moving trot and if the horse still refused to canter, follow up with a tap from a whip until he gets the idea. Be careful not to pull back on the reins, as this will just confuse the horse

How do you teach a horse walk through canter?
first of all you need to establish the basic stand-walk-trot-canter. Then maybe work on going from a steady (not lazy) trot to a canter. when you are confedent your horse knows the command for canter, then you will need to get your horse in an active walk around the riding arena. When he feels like he's really working and coming off your leg and listening, and feels like if you ask him to do something he will do it straight away, then when you get to a corner or a long side give the command you have taught your horse that means canter, (using voice helps) then push him forwards into canter. If it doesnt work and he simply trots, ask him for canter imediatly. repeat this, if it is still not working, then your horse is not listening to you, or you may need to re-teach him the command for canter.
How do you train your horse to canter?
