Lightly pull on the reigns to get him to slow down.

But this varies from horse to horse depending on the way your horse is trained; just give him the usuall cues to slow down, until he is walking instead of cantering.

Actually depending on your horses training depends on how easily he picks up the idea of canter to walk.

I own two dressage horses one who knows canter to walk by working him on a ten metre circle, collecting the canter then giving the aid for walk, he is working elementary at home and the other already knew this movement before i had him as he is trained to grand prix level but it all comes from your SEAT NOT REINS!.

How do you you go from walk to canter?

you cant go from walk straight into canter u go into trot then u go into sitting trot which is very bumpy then u go into canterfrom wowwikiwowOf course you can go from walk into canter. In fact, it is an easier transition as your horse has two or three feet on the ground at the same time, whereas in trot, he has a moment of suspension, therefore making it easier for him to become unbalanced.To go from walk into canter, a good trick is to halt your horse initially to balance him, then ask for one to two full walk paces. Sit deeply on your inside seat bone and place your outside leg behind the girth to get the weight onto the outside quarters and help him onto the correct leg. He should then go into canter. If he persists to trot, keep applying the canter aids but if he rushes and becomes unbalanced, bring him back to a walk and try again.To ask for a canter to walk transition, use half-halt aids.
