deborahknowles The word 'canter' comes from 'Canterbury gallop' ie the pace that pilgrims did on route to the shrine of Thomas a Becket BUT what was a canter called before it was a canter? I think it wasn't coined until the 18th century or thereabouts. The only other term i've heard is gallop march but that is probably later than medieval too.

Erik Schmidt Well, the Germans took over the term 'Kanter', but still call it a 'slow galop' and the French call it a 'small galop', so maybe the English did the same.
