Moves along quickly, as a horse

CANTERS

Think of a smooth, three-beat gait that’s faster than a trot but slower than a gallop—often seen in dressage or leisurely rides.

The clue describes how a horse moves at a moderate, smooth pace—faster than a trot but slower than a gallop. "Canters" fits perfectly because it’s the verb for that specific gait, and the word "quickly" hints at speed without implying a full sprint. There’s no hidden wordplay here; it’s a straightforward definition matching the action to the term.
