Green horses tend to lunge uphill at a canter,
because it takes fitter hindquarters to trot uphill. And Leonard is
correct that in that circumstance, the canter uphill is extremely wasteful of
energy. That said, given a fit horse, he really should be able to do both
with ease, so that you can call the shots at the bottom, based on steepness,
length of the hill, etc.

Personnaly,
I won't allow my horse to canter uphill, but prefer a gentle slow trot with
the head on the ground or even a walk. Question of energy
sparing.
