How To Sit the Canter (using the right muscles!)

[@gregory3588]

Sitting the trot is what is the most difficult for me. Canter always feels easy in comparison.

Sitting trot is simply hugging the horse with your legs.

[@lucinda.ponyrider]

The canter has always been my favorite gait. Feels like youre flying! This was very helpful as my posture can be a bit wonky sometimes! Love your explanations!

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

It definitely does!! I think it's my favorite gait too.

[@Kelly_Ben]

This was really helpful, and the shirt made it so easy to see what was going on. I often wind up curling up, drawing my legs up, and losing my stirrups.

I definitely struggle with the canter, I just can’t keep my butt in the saddle 😅 I’m riding tomorrow so I’ll update y’all to see if I can do it now!

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Yes! Please let us know how it goes!

[@judgejure835]

still waiting

[@AbbyJaymes]

So sorry! Anyway it went really well and with a bit of practice I sort of had it in a week and 100% was able to do it in two weeks

[@iuliiausmanovs7479]

i have not quite got to canter but have mastered my trot and don't be held by someone in trot. i am watch the videos of how to canter just because i want to prepare and know how to. Cheers for horses!

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Keep up the great work!

[@crazycanuck8120]

Great video Amelia - he’s a lovely dressage horse! For those of us with “green” horses or those learning the basics of dressage….how do you adjust your position in the canter when the horse becomes unbalanced, inverts themself or has a rigid back? Could you please do a video on how to sit the canter with such a horse? This is the canter we are trying to ride and find it challenging to let our hips follow the motion. Your tips & insights would be super helpful! Thx ☺️

[@kellyannhahn4201]

I’m getting better at the sitting trot and canter

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

thats great!

[@dianacolombus]

This is a great video. Thank you for sharing it. I do both. When I start the canter I lean too far forward in my effort to make the transition. When we're in canter, I struggle to not be behind because I need to stay in canter and I drive with my seat. Also, because of my horse's weaker side, I tend to get thrown to the right side. I have a harder time turning left, as you do Amelia, so my partner and I make each other's issue harder. I'm doing floor exercises and Pilates to help. When I get it right in the saddle, I know I've done it right because my right oblique muscles and left hip muscles tell me they've worked harder. Dino is very honest. If I don't position properly for anything, he doesn't step up and say, "Let me help you with that." He says, "Can't we both go back to the stall and eat?" When I do get it right, he says, "Well I guess I don't have an excuse. Let's do this thing! The sooner we're done, the sooner I get my carrot." It can be very frustrating, but I love Dino. My trainer does too. He's making me a better rider and I'm thankful for that! Are those jackets still on your website? I think my trainer would love it if I had one.

This is so helpful since I am a new rider after many years! I tend to be stiff and this will help me be more conscious of my movement. What is the proper way to hold my legs? Do I lightly grip with my thighs or lower leg?

Lightly with lower leg

Are you struggling with your confidence?? Https://ameliasdressageacademy.com/confidence/

[@glennvannijevelt1133]

Great video. But I think both the rider and the instructor (on the ground) forgot to explain the most important think: What your legs should do. On the First Strike; It is imperative to open two things: Your hip angle and your upper thighs, and to strike your heels down; All the while plastering your belly button to your spine; Then quickly “drop” everything on the Second Beat, or slightly before --- The horse used in this demo is a very calm an obedient horse with rather smooth movement. Just thinking about (or adjusting) your lumbar position is not enough if one happens to be riding a big Stallion with big movement.

Tension and fear can be hard to overcome. In my experience, being confident on the ground and with what you're saying /envisioning to yourself is the first step to help with fear.

Hyperlordosis is when there’s an increased lumbar curve. It can be due to bad posture , mine is due to a odd shaped sacrum so I can’t get out of anterior tilt

I am an older rider, next birthday 60, so never rode as a kid.
