The canter is a controlled, three-beat gait performed by a horse. It is a natural gait possessed by all horses, faster than most horses' trot but slower than the gallop, and is used by all riders. The speed of the canter varies between 16 and 27 km/h (10 and 17 mph), depending on the length of the stride of the horse. A variation of the canter, seen in western riding, is called a lope, and generally is quite slow, no more than 13–19 km/h (8–12 mph).
Since the earliest dictionaries there has been a commonly agreed suggestion that the origin of the word comes from the English city of Canterbury, a place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages, as referred to in The Canterbury Tales, where the comfortable speed for a pilgrim travelling some distance on horseback was above that of a trot but below that of a gallop. However the lack of the compelling evidence made the 18th-century equestrian Richard Berenger remark in The History and Art of Horsemanship that "the definition must certainly puzzle all who are horsemen and all who are not" [author's italics], and suggest his own derivation, noted in contemporary dictionaries, from the Latin word cantherius, a gelding, known of the calmness of the temper.

Genres: Crime,Canterò e giocherò con te
riderò e piangerò con te
parlerò e scriverò di te
e non mi stancherò.
Dormirò finché sorge il sole
mi alzerò con le tue parole
mi nutrirò dei colori del giorno
senza rubare un minuto al tramonto.
Lotterò senza gareggiare
leggerò libri da imparare
coltiverò nella bianca pianura
file di alberi al caldo che dura.
Camminerò sui carboni ardenti
non temerò nidi di serpenti
raccoglierò le conchiglie del mare
piccole voci da stare a sentire.
Cancellerò lacrime e ricordi
lavorerò fino a fare tardi
regalerò le mie ossa alla terra
che le conserverà come una serra.
Fermerò l'attimo fuggente
guarirò come fosse niente
disegnerò con un dito sui vetri
per non vedere i pensieri più tetri.
Pregherò anche a denti stretti
planerò matta sopra i tetti
e come quando finiva la scuola
