Find it impossible to turn about at a fast pace (6)
I believe the answer is:
canter
'pace' is the definition.
(I know this)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for canter that I've seen before include "Move at an easy gallop" , "Trance (anag) - horse's pace" , "Moderate pace for horse" , "Pace of a horse between trot and gallop" , "Ride at a quick pace" .)
