The walk is an average of 1 to 4 MPH ( 1.6- 6.4 KPH)

The trot is an average of 8 to 12 MPH (13-19 KPH) Though racing trotters can reach galloping speed in this gait.

The Canter is around 12 to 15 MPH (19-24 KPH)

The gallop is around 17 to 25 MPH (27-40 KPH), Though a racehorse can achieve speeds of 30 to 55 MPH (48-88.5 KPH.)

This depends on the type of horse. Some horses will be very forward and responsive but other horses will be slow and will plod along. They will mainly walk or trot in the field but will trot/canter if spooked or exited

TB's are actually a TON faster than QH's ;)
