So this isn’t everyones way to teach walk to canter, but it’s mine & it worked for me & my horse. Helpful Tips: 1) Every time you canter say the word to your…
Continued-Also keep your leg on when asking her for your smaller circle but
don’t kick her, just keep your leg there for support so she feels secure 🙂
Wow! Thanks ! This is really useful 😀 May you answer me a question? The
horse I ride canters well, around the riding arena, when I do a cercle, she
goes really rigid and then she stops cantering. My riding arena is really
huge but she only can do a cercle as big as half arena. If the cercle is
smaller than that, she stops. What can I do? Another thing: I have to ask
for canter with a very precise kick, but sometimes she starts to bounce and
rear… The 2nd try goes well.. Sorry for my english.
Aww you’re so kind 🙂 Thank you 😀 I’ll try it. The only thing I used to do
was make pressure with the outside leg to don’t stop cantering:P But I
still have a lot of problems with her canter. She’s a bit “special” and
young:/… haha
I just circle your horse on the circle she can do and slowly bring the
circle a bit smaller each time you go around. Like a spiral in. keep your
leg on her side but don’t kick, just hug your legs around her to make sure
she doesn’t stop. When she feels like she will stop bring her out to the
bigger circle and give her a break and a pat. I’ll make a video of how to
make your horses canter better when my broken arm heals. I’ll make it as a
video response to this video and I’ll send it you you 🙂 x
Continued-Then after about 7 days of doing that you can get on and do the
same thing! If you have an experienced person to help you ask them to help.
If you think your horse is balanced then put her into canter on a big
circle where there’s nothing in the way and try to take her into a smaller
circle(gradually)and as soon as she starts to even think of slowing her
legs give her a break and tell her shes good!Make sure your small circle
isn’t too small,just a bit smaller than your big circle
I’d start out on the lunge, on a really big circle with no side reins, and
let her get her balance, she’s probably running because she isn’t balanced.
Charlie would run instead on canter too, she would also fall and trip while
trying to canter. I just gave her confidence on the lunge (telling her good
girl when she cantered and giving her long regular breaks every time she
did it right!) so she didn’t have to take my weight when she wasn’t ready!
Don’t try to jump until she can canter 🙂
Amazing riding! Question haha. My horse does not like to canter. She just
runs, fast lol. And she’s the alpha of all the other horses so she does not
like to canter or jump. Do you know how I can teach her to canter instead
of full out run?
