Yes, only one foot on the ground - canter is a three beat action with a period of suspension in between so at one point there are no feet on the ground!
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.
