i love how your trainer actually waits until your ready to let you canter!

[@RidewithClara]

Yup! I can say I felt very prepared for it when the time came ☺️

[@jaeldekkers1]

So exciting, that's a really great accomplishment!

[@RidewithClara]

Thank you so much 😍 it’s the best feeling ever

[@BlueEquestrian]

@@RidewithClarait really is the best feeling my favorite place is on my horse either cantering or my absolute fav thing to do, cantering jumps!

[@LarissaAndBaillee]

It was great that you caught that daisies tack was off and I was great to see fit it because it be uncomfortable for them and can make them mad! And your canter was amazing!❤❤❤

[@RidewithClara]

Thank yoouu, Daisy’s comfort always comes first ! 🥰

[@Olive.Eventing]

So refreshing to hear how you talk about horses, and how attentive to detail you are! This is the first video I've seen of you, but you seem like a fantastic rider. The clips you showed of you posting in the mirror look great! Such a good trainer to make you master one gait before moving to the next, and all the exercises you were doing will help so much with balance! You earned a new subscriber!!

[@RidewithClara]

Thank you sooo much! 🥰 yes, she really is a great trainer and wants us to be as prepared as possible in order to succeed!

[@quinnwieland9417]

I never learned in a lung line but it’s helpful I’m so ha-py for you what a great accomplishment I love seeing beginners grow I’m 15 and have been riding since 5 and I love seeing beginners grown in there riding 😊😊😊 8:17

[@RidewithClara]

From what I’ve heard it sounds like it depends on the trainer whether you start on the lunge line or not!!! Super brave for those who don’t ☺️ thank you so much!!! 💕💕💕

[@JM.H285]

I never learned on the lunge line either but whether u do or u don't u looked really good at riding

[@Ameliathehorsegirl]

What do you mean your 15 you didn’t even use the right their it’s their not there so your like 10

[@Your.Eq.Girlie]

I learnt with someone holding a lead rein running next to me and then eventually had someone running next to me without a lead rein until I wanted to canter by myself

[@Your.Eq.Girlie]

@@Ameliathehorsegirl*it’s called a mistake*

[@luvs.equestxian]

your trainer is amazing! i love how she makes sure you are prepared to canter on your own. also i love how you untacked your horse to make sure shes really comfortable because thats really important. cantering on your own is so exciting and a big accomplishment! once you start jumping it feels really smooth and i think you'll love it! you're an amazing rider so keep up the great work and im sure you'll be an amazing equestrian! new sub!

[@RidewithClara]

Omg thank you so much!!! 😍 yess I can’t wait to jump!! It’s going to be so much fun, I’m finally starting to feel super comfortable cantering

[@luvs.equestxian]

@@RidewithClara ofc! cantering is really smooth and i actually love the feel of it. honestly i like it better than trotting bc i feel more connected to the horse but i feel like its something that is only enjoyable once you get the hang of it otherwise its kinda scary lol! and jumping is the same, honestly it feels like flying! anyways im glad youre feeling more comfortable, keep up the amazing work! i cant wait for another video!

[@madisonmoore1814]

I love how genuinely you love this sport, coming from someone who has done it since I was 6 and got burnt out, and is slowly getting back into it, it makes me sooo happy.

I got to canter off the lunge line recently for the first time too! Congratulations on your achievement! 🎉

[@RidewithClara]

YAAYY that’s so exciting ! 😍 go us!!!

[@kaylalanders5061]

Your doing amazing! I’d definitely recommend trying to get private lessons, that way the instructor can focus on you the whole time, but if you can’t the normal lessons are perfect. Ps. galloping on the beach is amazing!

[@RidewithClara]

Tysm 🥰 some private lessons would be nice!! I might take some in the future if I can!!! Ughhh it’s literally my dreeaaamm 😍

[@SunooAndHisHourGlass]

I only do private lesson lol- group lessons scare me 💀 also, the horse/s I ride are taught in Parelli. So we do a lot of ground work, and more bonding with the horse. So even though I’ve been riding since like- 9/10 (I’m currently 15) I still haven’t cantered yet lol. My teacher wants me to perfect my posting trot. My sitting trot is great though lol. 😂 I just started going over trotting poles (at a sitting trot) which is really fun actually! My posting is great- My teacher always tells me that…compared to her other students who trot for the first time (posting) they forget everything and just post. Their legs are messed up, hands bouncing, all of it. But with me, I’ll do like- 5 ‘up downs’ but keep my legs in the correct position, heels down, hands correct, elbows slightly bent, all of it. I’m the type of learner to just watch for a long time, before my ‘body’ is ready to do it, and when I do, it’s beautiful’ ( an actual quote from my teacher haha) but I can’t wait for the day when I can post the whole time lmao 😂

[@triciatheodosis]

im been riding for two years now and i love cantering and let me just say its even more fun to canter over jumps

[@RidewithClara]

I’m so excited to do canter poles and eventually jump 😍

[@suimaroped]

It was very entertaining to watch. When I started riding my trainers found out I have a natural talent for it so I got moved up very quickly and was riding with only adults when I was 7 (a year after I started riding). I was off the lunge by then and my trainer would only occasionally tell me what to do now because I have become an advanced rider already. Then I found my baby (ex-race horse - this is important for the story) and I rode him off the lunge immediately. He was very spooky so he ended up throwing me off onto the fence my first canter. I've come to adore him tho and I ride him competitively now in races. I hope you'll get to jumping soon! It's the best thing in the world

[@RidewithClara]

That’s so cool!! Thanks so much, I can’t wait 😍

[@wingsofatlantis]

In my 10+ years of riding, i have never cantered on a lunge line. Its a miracle i can sit the gait and jump properly, my trainer wasnt really the best lmfao. You did amazing! ❤ Edit: omg is that a potbelly pig i see-

[@RidewithClara]

Wow I’m sure you’re amazing! 😍 thank you so much!! ❤️ omg yes!! He’s the best

[@wingsofatlantis]

@@RidewithClara I wouldn't say I'm amazing, but thanks! And ofc! But omg, when I saw that little face I was about to hop through the screen and vibe with him lol

[@suimaroped]

I feel you TT. I was put to the test for canter a few lessons after I started riding. I was lead on a lunge the first time so I knew what to do. Then they put me on an ex-race horse whose weak side is left cantering and made me canter left. It rained that day and turns out it was scared of puddles. It threw me off onto the fence. Lesson learned tho: Don't ride an ex-race horse (I would never stop riding my old found baby but it was a very scary experience)

[@wingsofatlantis]

@@suimaroped yikes, thats not fun. Had a similar experience with the puddles one time: I was on a 17hh horse and we were trotting in the dry side of the covered outdoor arena. It wasn't covered all the way tho, so there were small puddles everywhere. He could definitely see the puddles, but I dont think he was properly exposed to them bcs the second he stepped in it he bolted. And that horse, having the roughest gallop ive ever had to sit, I managed to stay on for a couple strides and then fell into a puddle. Fun.

[@Equ1neStarz]

Hpfor my first canter i wasnt on the lung line but it went pretty well ngl. And you are improving alot!

[@stacyenzmann1230]

Funny looking horse there at 7:40 in the bottom right corner 😆

[@RidewithClara]

He’s a little different looking but he fits in just fine 😉 haha

[@TutuEqBelts]

Your trainer seem amazing based off how she wants your leg sturdy and nice before cantering off the lunge trotting is a very important gait and your honesty probably better then me lol, I remember when I first cantered off the lunge it was amazing congratulations 🎉

[@RidewithClara]

Yeah she’s really good and has done a great job preparing us for canter! And thank you so much 😍

Thanks so much 🥰

[@timeless712]

That looked super fun! I love how the lesson was focused on lots of different challenges instead of just going in laps of trot. You seemed to have a great first canter off the lunge, how long have you been cantering on the lunge?

[@RidewithClara]

It was soooo fun!! 😍 yeah, we focus on lots of different exercises every lesson, it keeps things interesting for us and the horses and it helps us develop different skills ☺️ thank you so much! We’ve been cantering on the lunge line for about 2 and a half months I would say.

[@timeless712]

@@RidewithClara I think it’s great to spend plenty of time working on the lunge, it may not be as much fun but it allows for a safe controlled environment for the rider to focus on things without having to worry about what the horse is doing.

[@RidewithClara]

@@timeless712 I think so too!!! There are some horses at the barn where I wouldn’t feel confident cantering off the lunge line yet, but Daisy is perfect she’s great for learning

[@That_Horse_Gurl]

I get to ride on Friday by myself off the lunge line!!!!! ❤

[@Ameliathehorsegirl]

This is why I wanna be a wild horse I’d be living the life

[@urlocalchestnutmaregirlie3394]

I’m an extreme beginner, as in I only walk and trot on the lunge / leadrope so this is helpful to see what it’ll be like my first time.

[@RidewithClara]

That’s so exciting!! You’ll be cantering before you know it 🥰

[@abigray8585]

Not at canter yet but my instructor believes in me and is teaching me to be able to get up to it. Horse I ride is also a sweetheart so that’s a bonus. We also call it rising trot and we usually do that but sometimes sit (which I’m slightly better at).

[@RidewithClara]

You’ll be cantering in no time!! Having a strong sitting trot is a necessary skill to have when learning to canter ☺️

[@SunooAndHisHourGlass]

Same though haha 😆 my sitting trot is beautiful! (I’m staying humble of course 💀🫶) but I can only do like 5 “up downs” at the max before I have to go back to a sitting trot

[@emilyhacker6084]

Just one tip when your saddle ect is to far back or forward loosen your girth then just slide it up or down then tighten it again

Any tips for cantering? I’m starting to canter more but i feel like in bouncing all over the place. Ur doing so well!!❤

[@RidewithClara]

Thank you so much!!! A nice deep seat, just like sitting trot, and lean back a little bit. Most importantly let the horse’s movement guide your hips! Easier said than done but practise makes perfect ❤️

does anyone know the name of the thing you do when your not riding in a group. Like there are other horses and ponies in the ring but everyone is doing there own thing?

[@daisyspring8233]

I wish I got started on a lunge line while learning to canter. I just got put on a smooth horse and was told to kiss and kick. Then, someone got to close to me and I got bucked off. This was a week ago by the way xD. Still sore from that lesson.

UR POSTING TROP W NO STIRRUPS IS SO GOOD- MY SUCKS

[@RidewithClara]

Ommggg thank you, it’s from all the posting trot no stirrup pain my trainer puts us through 😂

[@JustHorseyMie]

Nice video. I don't agree with doing rising trot with no stirrups, so many people get bad habits like gripping with their knees from doing this in riding school. Gripping with the knees makes your position less stable, and it takes a long time to unlearn bad behaviours. I did a lot of no stirrup work when I worked at a riding school, but never rising trot or 2 point seat. Must be fun to have this memory on video. I can't remember my first canter anymore.

[@RidewithClara]

I totally see your perspective! Although for myself, posting trot without stirrups really taught me how to post using the muscles in my leg instead of standing up in my stirrups ☺️ definitely! I’m really happy that I’ll always have this memory

Understand the rhythm of your horse, it’s in a pattern for eg, 1,2..1,2…1,2.. and according to that move you’re hips forward and back and forwards, for eg, 1=forwards 2=back and so on, Also, lean back a bit and heels down. Then your all good!!!
