Canter \Can"ter\ (k[a^]n"t[~e]r), n. [An abbreviation of
Canterbury. See Canterbury gallop, under {Canterbury}.]
1. A moderate and easy gallop adapted to pleasure riding.

Note: The canter is a thoroughly artificial pace, at first
extremely tiring to the horse, and generally only to be
produced in him by the restraint of a powerful bit,
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.

2. A rapid or easy passing over.

A rapid canter in the Times over all the topics.
--Sir J.
Stephen.
