Trotter reminds me: Sophia and I are reading Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell, which has become a tradition in "our" house. I read that book to each of Sophia's older sisters when they were about the same age as Sophia is now. We will read a chapter every one or two days; the chapters are very, very short, usually three to four pages. Once we complete the book, then we will read it again, and perhaps read it a third time. By the third time, Sophia, like her older sisters, should be able to read some of it on her own.

With that in mind, put the following in the correct order, from slowest to fastest:

• canter, gallop, lope, pace, trot, walk

Two "hints":

• it "all depends" is a very correct answer; and, 
• there is no one, definitely correct answer
