Improve your Canter

In years of traveling and teaching all over North America and Europe, we have learned that one of the biggest barriers to progress in the canter is the rider's seat.
But there are simple changes the rider can make so that rather than contributing to the horse's imbalance, the seat actually HELPS the horse.
In this video we give you some tips you can implement right away to help improve YOUR horse's canter with your seat.
In this video series we share the THREE THINGS that you need to learn to do to drastically improve your horse's canter.
In each video we will focus on one of the three main problems that many riders experience with their horses in the canter and (most importantly)... HOW TO FIX IT.
You will learn the exact tips, exercises, and strategies that we teach our students. You can implement these immediately with YOUR horse to drastically improve your horse's canter.

'your elbows are a part of your pelvis, not a part of your shoulders' this statement is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for all this helpful content.

The dropbox document was really handy, especially the section 'aids during the canter stride' - thank you!

So toll, habt ihr das auch in Deutsch?, so toll erklärt. Genau das kann man nachspüren.

[@martinahasse5333]

genau, die Hinterpartie des Oberschenkels kann schön dran sein und dann kann es hinter dieser Bauchkante bei Pferd liegen und dann wird es besser, dann kann man versuchen, das Pferd höher kommen zu lassen, weiß nicht ob man das verstehen kann.

Have just found your channel and can't wait to start trying all this with my horse! Our canter work is atrocious and everything you say that can go wrong does. He speeds up, loses balance, starts to lean on my hands. Advice up to now has been to lift inside rein and put inside leg on then relax when he softens but it seems like I have to repeat again every few strides and it improves a bit but no long term fix. Becomes hard to ride and keep my seat from bouncing, my shoulders upright etc. looking forward to getting good information from your videos..thankyou💃

Do you have advice on downwards transition out of the canter? My horse gets very strong in the downward transition like a freight train ha ha lol.
