What makes cantering easier and less scary?
The first few times can be scary but you will get used to it... at a corner kick with the inside leg behind the girth and the horse should canter (unless its lazy :L) tbh i wasn't scared but when a horse takes off with me or the horses starts to go too fast I sing ! IT WORKS ! Just imagen two girls gallopin down a medow singing "don't stop me now" that's me and my friend ! :D The answer to this is just practice. However, be sure to practice in a safe way that will be beneficial...and not scary for you! The best way is to start on the lune. That way, you don't have to worry about controlling the horse and can concentrate on sitting naturally. If you're having trouble with this, always check your position (this is the root of most problems. An intructor can help you there.) Once you develope the habit of moving with the horse's motion, cantering will be a lot easier. At least, ride in an enclosed space (area/round pen) so that there is not any danger of the horse running away with you. Another thing to do, if possible, is borrow a dead calm horse that will canter slowly and steadily until you get the hang of it. Or, if you have a horse that isn't sure about cantering (unsteady, rushing, inconsistant) have an experienced trainer/friend give your horse the basics. If you're scared, don't try to canter alone. Get an intructor to work with you. The first couple times can be scary, but once you feel the natural motion of the horse it will be easier. Good luck!
How do you make cantering easier and less scary?
Work on balance and relaxing at the slower gaits. Realize that a slow relaxed canter is easier to "sit" and make sure you are on a horse that would rather slow down as opposed to accelerating if you become unstable at the gait you are working on.
