The breeding goal of the icelandic horse

for the quality "Gallop/canter".

The Icelandic horse should have a three-beat rhythm in gallop, and a very beautiful gallop.  The horse should lift it's front part well, and stretch itself well, with superb speed.  The horse should keep this in both canter (slow gallop) and at maximum speed.

What are considered faults are mainly
-Disunited gallop.
-Bad rhythm.
-No speed.
-Lack of balance in the movements.
-Heaviness, lack of suspension.
