Plutarch who is thoroughly pilloried in another thread

Quadrupedante putrem sonitu quatit ungula campum
Sounds just like the rythym of a galloping horse!
Wow, it really does, CK--thanks!

isn't there a real difference between a gallop and a canter?
Well, yes, a few. A gallop is faster than a canter (whether the horse is Jewish or not!), and a canter is the smoothest gait--the saddle should give you the feel of a rocking chair.
