Well, having just made it back from an exciting week in Tuscany here is just the first of many images I took - it caught my eye on a quick flick through as it has a great sensation of power and movement.  Click here to comment on this image.

Yes, lots of action, only one foot on the ground? Higher shutter speeds help when there is lots of movement, that said you don't want to eliminate all movement blur. I remember many years ago there was a discussion here about spoke blur and shutter speed for racing bikes, you don't want too much blur or the spokes will disappear, which makes the bike looks silly with no spokes... Same applies to airplanes with propellors. Do you go for a disk or frozen prop, most like a reasonably blurred propellor. I think this would be an activity I would use shutter priority, most of my photography is aperture priority, because I usually want to control depth of focus

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.

Horses naturally have 4 gaits - walk which a 4 beat, trot which is 2 beat with diagonal pairs of legs, canter which is a mixture of trot with one pair of legs and individual strides with the other pair so 3 beat and gallop which is 4 beat. In the picture Scully is on her hind off and about to land the fore off and hind near in the trot stride, followed by the pause and then the near fore. Then you have horses that tolt, a trot stride but using pairs of legs on the same side (very wobbly!) and horses that canter disunited (front legs out of sync with the rears). All these are natural gaits. Walk, trot and canter have three sub divisions - collected, working and extended - these have different stride lengths. Then you have trained gaits like spanish walk and the american trotters, plus dressage moves like tempi changes, flying changes (both canter based) and things like piaffe, passage and pirouette - all exaggerated display movements. Lol - you did ask someone passionate about horses

Lost me there at an easy canter! Best rein me in before I become unseated.
