    The meter of this line is dactylic.

    A dactyl consists of one stressed syllable which is followed by two unstressed syllables. So here, I will write the stressed syllables as "-" and unstressed as "U".

    Galloping madly he quickly arrived = - UU-UU-UU-

    Ga - is stressed, lop and ing are not. Mad is stressed, ly and he are not. Quick is stressed, ly and a are not. Rived is stressed.

    Anapest has one unstressed syllable followed by two stressed ones. Trochee and iamb refer to two syllables, not three.
