Some people pronounce it like "canter," a horse's gait... lol

In answer to the question though, Cantr is... a fun game! :D :P

I like the name as it is, Canter: to trot on a horsey. :P

Actually canter is not a "slow" gait - it's a collected gait just below a gallop.

Slow - walk
Medium - Trot
Controlled Fast - Canter
All out fast - gallop

Most of those show horses you see running around jumping fences are cantering, race horses are always galloping - just to give non-horse folk an idea of speed variation.

Not that anyone cares. :lol:

But I won't get into lopes, hand gallops, racks, tolts, park trots, etc....

This topic annoys me. There has already been talk about how to pronounce Cantr and now we have a topic with a poll that says... honk? And we're discussing the movement of... horses? :roll: This sure wins the award for the most pointless topic this year.
