Canterbury. See Canterbury gallop, under Canterbury.]
1. A moderate and easy gallop adapted to pleasure riding.
[1913 Webster]

which compels him to throw a great part of his weight
on his haunches . . . There is so great a variety in
the mode adopted by different horses for performing the
canter, that no single description will suffice, nor
indeed is it easy . . . to define any one of them. --J.
H. Walsh.
