Canter Transitions - How To Ask For Canter

In this video, I will show you canter transitions and how to ask for canter. I will show you the when, why and how I ask for canter.
How you ask for canter is important for you to know and for the horse to understand otherwise how does your horse know you want him to canter. You could just be asking for a faster trot! Canter aids help your horse improve his canter transitions and this includes trot to canter transitions as well walk to canter transition and the halt to canter transition. Once he has an understanding of the aids, it will even help with flying changes. I hope this video helps you get a clear understanding of the canter aids as they are part of your dressage training.

Knowing when, why and how to ask for a canter depart is a riding basic that all riders should know. It helps to stop your horse having a multiple-choice question to answer 🤔

I really love your videos and the step by step instructions. I have seen lots of videos but I must say I really enjoy yours. Simple but so efficient. I am new at horseback riding with an 11 yo quarter horse on which I am learning a lot especially canter. He’s a smart one!!! My 4yo Warmblood is being trained by a coach and he is really good and receptive to the commands but boy he has toi many power for the canter. I am learning being on a lunge with my coach. I am really enjoying this new sport/passion and I am patient there’s no other way. So many thanks and please do continue your excellent work. Much appreciated 🙏🏻

[@daphneberr8173]

Thanks for the video. My Appaloosa sometimes takes off when I ask him to canter. He's good at the trot but I get nervous about cantering.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Hi Daphne, I have often found that when horses take off in the canter it can be because they were surprised by the aids, or they are quite unbalanced and "run" the keep their balance or perhaps the fact that you are nervous about cantering is reflected in him. There are some things you can do. If it is a balance thing for him perhaps you could lunge him so he can find his balance without you on him. If you have a friend or instructor with a sensible horse you could do some work at canter to help you become more confident. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Your welcome. Thank you for commenting.

[@suzannesenser607]

I've been riding over 50 years, and canter aides seem to be the number one concept that is done differently by so many people. I was taught to bring the outside leg back because it's needed for the bend. Then to canter you scoop the sit-bones forward on a diagonal from outside towards the inside. The bend, combined with the timing of your ask will determine the lead. Yes, the timing must coordinate with the outside hind leg coming forward. The canter is asked for in this way in order to "lift" the horse into a canter-depart, which is different from a "circus aide". If I was working with a confused horse, such as one that's always gone on the left lead, then to get a right lead, I add a bit extra outside leg to actually bring the hind end to the inside a bit more, making it essentially impossible for the horse to take the wrong lead.

So, this is gold, this channel is gold. Especially for anyone transferring from riding school lessons to riding (training) a privately owned horse, by then you understand that you know nothing about riding and you need these kind of instructions to start over. This channel has the same problem though as any other good horse training/riding channel, the horses are too good. Not much of the struggles, we the viewer has, is exampled here. But still, this is the best YT channel for me going on my second horse outside riding schools. Thank you for your efforts!! ^.^

@@BasicHorseTraining Welp...i had a mounting accident on a hard to mount mare (one of my favorite horses ever!!!) And she took off as i was mounting and i fell off and broke my ankle and had to get pins put in so unfortunately, it's going to be a while for me to practice. The mare is totally okay...as soon as i fell, i got up and was going to "shake it off " and try again and i didn't know my ankle was broken yet and i hobbled to her and hugged and kissed her and checked her for any injuries and her heart rate and she was in perfect condition. In a couple of months, on a different horse, i will try the steps. I still have a long way to go with the mare, as far as mounting. We've been working with her for months but i was in a new environment with her, haven't worked with her in about 7 weeks, there isn't a small space to work on mounting with her, i was trying to mount on a new to me saddle...too many judgment errors. I know she and i can work througj this mounting block she has. She's 16 and we dont know much about her past. From what we can tell, she may have been a reiner and a barrel racer. So she thinks shes is supposed to GO as soon as you put your foot in the stirrup. She is a wonderful and loyal trail horse, even on a bosal or bitless bridal!!! I love her

Thank you so much! I have a question - I have a horse who knows what the canter aid means and sometimes canters forward immediately when asked, but sometimes she just ignores it and stays in a fast trot or stalls and refuses to go, sometimes even starts bucking. Do you have any recommendations on how to fix this? Also, the trot-canter transition works most of the time, while the walk-canter is impossible to achieve. Thanks again for all your advice!

[@dachater1]

Your videos are very instructive. I have been asked to ride someone's polo horses to get them fit. I am struggling to get the horse to lead with the correct leg on the left handside when cantering. Any advice?

[@Mghama]

hello! thank you so much for these videos! They are amazing. I have a suggestion, would it be at all possible to have definition for some of the horse riding jargon you use? like "diagonal pair" for example. Even if its in its own separate video or while you're explaining, or even in the description box, it would be great for those of us who don't take riding lessons in English and wouldn't know their meaning even if they aren't super beginner themselves. Thank again!

[@robyncarroll9928]

When you are half halt, half halt...are you already moving back your leg into the 10cm back position...then it's ready for your word "canter" and the actual pressing of that leg?

[@BasicHorseTraining]

You are making me actually think Robyn lol ... I do it on automatic pilot! I think I do move it back as I'm half halting and then touch when I want the canter.

[@aubreymiles9262]

Older beginner here. I figured out, by lack of skill, I was accidentally asking my lesson horse to do so! When it happened the second time (on a different lesson horse) asked how we ask horse for canter, and realized I was actually out of balance and gripping one side with one leg slightly back. Was scary when I felt like I didn't have control, till figured it was actually me.

[@laurenbadalucco7846]

This has been so helpful for me as I'm learning to canter! I think this will just come with time, but I really struggle with when moving my outside leg back to ask for canter, to keep my heels down and sit in the saddle. I find when I move my leg back, my knees pinch and I start gripping with my thighs rather than relaxing into it and letting my weight go into my heels. I don't have this issue at trot, even when sitting trot, only when asking for canter. I'm still new - about 4 months new! So I assume it will come with balance and practice, but wondering if you had any advice? Thank you so much for these!!

[@BasicHorseTraining]

It does take practice and repetition Lauren. Try just moving your outside leg from the knee and one of my favourite hacks is the think about pedalling backwards as you give your leg aid. This helps you not allow your heel to come up. It's hard to give advice when I cant actually see you as there are multiple things that could be contributing so I hope that something here helps you.

[@OliveDeuce]

I’m confused, could I technically teach the canter aid however I wanted to if I have a totally green horse who’s never been ridden? Like isn’t the canter aid just universal to us, but not to horses since we have to teach it to them? I know a lot of people in the western community just “kick more to go faster” however I taught my green horse that your outside leg needs to go back and squeeze with both legs. So when my cousin went to ride him and she just kicked to go faster, he just trotted fastly. When I told her to put her outside leg back, he picked up the canter. I was so proud of him :)

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Awesome question Olive. Yes, you can teach your horse to canter any way you want. You could tap him on the right shoulder and make that the aid for the horse to canter. Horses learn from the release of the pressure. I'm teaching classical dressage aids here (that is my love) so they are the aids we use. PS: you should be proud of your horse but you should also be proud of yourself for teaching him that 😊

So when you change from rising trot to sitting trot, do you apply your outside leg aid behind the girth when you sit your trot at odd or even number? I’m always confused if I should use my leg aid on the 2nd or the 3rd bounce. I suppose it’s the odd number because it’s when the outside hind leg begin to step forward? Appreciate if you can explain this 🙏🏻

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Great question Vicky. I don’t count stride as such. I apply the aid when the outside hind leg is on the ground as that is the only time the horse can make the canter transition. Otherwise he has to wait a full cycle to do the transition.

[@PlanesAreAwsomeiv-7ny]

My horse doesn't like to canter in a circle and we don't know if it's from pain or from my aids but she also is disunity and that means she always changes leads plus her canter is so hard to rise to and really uncomfortable to ride to so I hope this helps😂

Question is it a dressage rider thing to not keep your heels down? Just curious I just cantered for the first time, and I plan on doing hunter/jumper! If you’d like to see my cantering video it’s on my KZbin ❤️ awesome video!

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Hi, No it's not a dressage rider thing for your heels to be up but something that I continuously work on as it's one of my "bad habits". Yes, you "should" keep your heels lower than your toe. I don't like to think "heels down" though as I think that can make you "push" your lower leg forward. Clearly, I need to work more on mine 😆. My seat is a work in progress and I'm always trying to refine it and will be until the day I can't ride anymore. One way to think about getting your heel lower without your leg coming forward (and I do when I am aware of my feet) is to think about "backpedalling" on a bike. I looked at your canter video and you should be very pleased with how you are going. Looks really good 🙂

Do we have to actually move our hips with the horse or do we let the horse move our hips in the canter?

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Excellent question! Some people need to actively move their hips until they find the rhythm but the ultimate aim is to be supple in all those joints so you follow the horses movement and then when you want to change something you can actively use your seat 🙂

is it ok to take your horse from a walk into a canter?

[@BasicHorseTraining]

[@lindav3747]

My horse was originally taught a verbal kiss sound to canter. The teacher told me to put inside leg on and kiss or say “can TER”. I have another teacher that says I shouldn’t have to make a sound or say anything. Is it wrong to ask for canter audibly? It puts a lot of pressure on me to try to stay silent and hence my canter is not good.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

In the early days I use a voice command but to do endeavour to give invisible aids to my horses so I phase out the audible sounds as the horse habituates to the physical ones. Part of training the horse is to have him react to minimal aids. Always remember what your goal is Linda V and keep heading in that direction. Always keep your horses best interests first and foremost, ask your instructors why they teaching you things and then think about their answers. Decide whether you think they have a valid reason or not (keeping the horses welfare at the centre) and this will have you being a thinking rider.

[@user-nu2xl9yu9l]

Hey i have a question when I move to the canter, do I keep my outer leg behind the girth for the duration of the canter, or when I start the canter only and then put it back over the girth?

[@BasicHorseTraining]

I keep mine slightly back but it is not firmly on the horse. Just sitting there and also it is only just slightly back. 2-3 inches. When my outer leg comes back to the girth it is part of my aid to come back to trot.

[@user-nu2xl9yu9l]

@@BasicHorseTraining Does this mean I have to keep my legs behind the girth when i am cantering all the time?

[@BasicHorseTraining]

It’s should only be your outside leg as the inside sits at the girth. If your seat is correct in canter it almost automatically puts your outside leg where it should be. When you are cantering try to imagine backpedaling on a push bike with your outside leg and see if that works. Remember it is only a small amount not I large one.

[@user-nu2xl9yu9l]

@@BasicHorseTraining last question when I jump, do I put my outer legs behind the girth , too? And also when I want to give a kick to the horse, use any leg?

[@BasicHorseTraining]

When you are in a two point in canter and you are a balanced rider your horse is slightly bent around your inside leg so it may be a bit but to be honest it is such a long time since I have jumped I would need to get on and try it to see what I do. Sorry not answer that very well for you.

Thought I was the only one who still kisses her horse forward. Trying to do it though without being seen to do it though in the dressage areana,though you were not to give verbal aids.

Not just me but everyone who rides him agrees. Sure makes a difference when I ride another horse. Wish there was something that makes him less bouncy but it's just the way he is built.
