Best Answer

Horses canter over the courses because it is the easiest gait for them to collect, bring they're hind quarters underneath them and jump. If the distance to the jump is correct, the horse will jump in good form and more naturally. Also, the canter is less bumpy than the trot so it makes the rider more comfertable.

Horses canter over the course in horse riding as it is an efficient and balanced gait for jumping obstacles. The canter provides the necessary speed and impulsion for the horse to successfully navigate the course while also ensuring they have the right rhythm and stride length for clearing jumps.
