[RC] gaits used in ride - Jen

Ok, our first ride is coming up. I have been doing lots of riding to prepare, 
and Willow is doing OK. Not as good as an Arab, but not bad, I think! I have 
decided to go on the 25M at Mars Hills (baring unforseen problems). But Debbie 
(who will be coming on the ride too) asked me a question the other day that I 
had no clue of the answer. How much are you walking/ trotting/ canter?

We plan on not pushing the horses too hard, we really just want to complete for 
our first ride - get an idea of what it's like (though I can get competitive 
and might want to push it more than the others).

So what is the approx percentage you spend in each gait?
 * Walk?
 * Trot?
 * Canter?
 * The Arab Jig?
 * etc...
