Re: Walk/trot speeds

["John B.Ayers" <ayers@plainfield.bypass.com>]

Since we started driving, and put a speedometer on
the cart, we now have three trot speeds.
WALK             =2 - 3 MPH
SLOW TROT = 4 MPH
TROT              =7 MPH
FAST TROT  =10 MPH

Interestingly, as the trot exceeds 10 MPH, it becomes a Canter
but the speed stays the same.
