Etymology

The term 'canter' originates from the early 19th century and is derived from 'Canterbury,' the name of a town in England. It is believed that the gait was named after a type of horse ride taken by pilgrims traveling from London to Canterbury. The light, smooth movement of the horse during a canter was favored for long journeys. Over time, 'canter' became widely used to describe this specific gait in various forms of equestrian activities. The transition from its origin as a reference to a specific route to its current usage reflects changes in both language and riding culture.
