A well trained horse is taught to move away from pressure. To ask the horse correctly, sit quiet, weight in your seat and heels, hands relaxed, then lightly press your outside heel to his side. So if you want your horse to take his rightlead, you press with your left heel. Reverse the process for the other direction. This is for riding in an enclosed arena or large paddock. The rail being the outside I refered to.
It is always safest to practice the canter on flat dry turf in an enclosed area. If you feel insecure have a friend help you with the longe line. Hook the line onto the horse's bridle in a safe place, so as not to hurt his mouth. Just as if he were being longed without a rider, start with the walk, then trot, then the canter. Just remember that this will take practice so don't be discouraged if you don't attain instant success.
*Remember to always wear protective head gear and riding boots/shoes.
