Why we say To win at a canter
ไป horsemanship 11 "canter" is an exact pace between a trot and a gallop. The word comes from the easy, ambling pace (not so fast as the "canter"
we know) at which pilgrims went
to
the shrine of St. Thomas a Becket at Canterbury. "To win at a canter" means to be so far ahead of the field as to be in no need of galloping.
