It does look like it's just barely the 4 stride of the gallop rather than the 3 of the canter....but it's sure close...lol......think your's right.

I always have a hard time counting strides.....especially when I'm on top of the horse.

Mister always loved the hand gallop in the higher level dressage....I think it took him back to his racing days of his younger days.....you could feel the smile on his face....lol.
