My Drekki had a rocking chair canter, i loved it, it did have a lot
of front lift, but it was natural and easy, my Stallion has a nice
canter as well, soft and flowing, not strung out, soft. My mare
Skyfaxa has a cute canter..nice and easy, but I swear we can go much
faster at the tolt with her, as it is her preferred gait....but we
canter up hills....
One of the reasons I love this breed because generally speaking I
find that the trot and canter are softer than other breeds...Skyfaxas
trot is so soft I listen to the rythym and footfalls to tell....
