Showing my equestrian ignorance ....do horses 'canter' naturally? I wondered if they have been conditioned to do while being ridden or whether they adopt that style of motion in the wild....or even running riderless about the paddock?

We had two horses in the field where I was photographing kites and they seemed to either walk or gallop around chasing each other. There didn't seem to be any in between.
