"Would you like to improve your canter while you move up the levels? Watch what Susan is doing with Beau in this video as she focuses on the balance and connection she needs for the counter canter and the beginnings of half pass and thoughts of the canter pirouette.

As the horse and rider move up the training scale the begin to focus more on the lateral movements in the canter.  In this video, you will see a Susan and Beau as they focus more on what they need to do including the right balance and bend.The counter canter and canter can be difficult gaits to teach to a horse or rider.  First, the horse has to be at a point where they can actually balance the horse and hopefully... keep it relaxed.  Next, the rider has to have the right riding position and know how to position the horse for the movements.

What did you learn about cantering your horse from watching this video?  Are you ready to try this?
