You want to bend your horses head to the middle of the ring. (Not to much). Also, you want to use your outside leg to push your horse into a canter. (Outside = the leg to the OUTSIDE of the ring.)

∙ 14y agoYou do not change the horse's lead, the horse has to change it itself. Usually a horse will get a feeling for when it is on the wrong lead. You can ask for the lead change, though, to help the horse through the change, by squeezing hard or kicking your leg opposite the lead you want to change to and tugging up with the rein on the side of the leg that you want to be leading. Sometimes if a horse has hind end trouble, it will get the front and buck for the hind change.

∙ 14y agoWhat I do to change leads and how I was taught is to do the following:
1) Begin to change directions at the canter (Optional)
2) Squeeze your new inside leg on the girth, kicking with your outside leg, and pulling (not jerking) hard on your inside rein.
Happy Cantering!

∙ 12y agoto ask for canter you go into sitting trot and bring the outside leg slightly back behind the girth nudge it on the horses side and he/she should canter on the correct lead. it is best to ask for canter in a corner or on/out of a circle.

How do you teach a horse lead changes?
do them over and over again sometimes try counter cantering (cantering on the wrong lead) it may seem funny at first but it helps a TON cause you get a better bond with the horse... HOPE THIS HELPS!
What are the paces of a horse?

What is cantering?
Cantering is the gait in between a trot (one step up from a walk) and a gallop (the fastest). To an untrained eye, it would appear like a slower gallop. a canter is a speed that is in between a trot and a gallop. To get your horse to canter, go down to a sitting trot, trying to sit as much as you can to stay seated. Then you grab mane and kick with the OUTSIDE leg to pick up the right lead. If this doesn't work, maybe you need to get a crop... with a crop, gently tap your horse with the crop, but make sure not to smack. Have fun cantering!
Can a horse crop be used in all gaits?
well yeah it's used to make the horse go faster so if when you're walking and you squeeze and kick the horse and it doesn't go you hit its butt with the crop and it usually starts trotting (or cantering) the racehorse jockeys use them when their horse is galloping

Flying lead change horseback riding?
Are you asking what flying lead changes are? When a horse is cantering one of two front legs will lead. This is called a lead. A lead change is when a horse changes direction, bend and lead legs in the air. Leads are important for balance for horses. Lead changes are done at the canter in all aspects of riding.

Pull on the reins

No you can cue the horse to enter the gallop straight from the canter.
To go from cantering to galloping does a horse have to first slow down to a walk?
no, unless you want him too. Galloping is generally much faster than cantering, and the horse (especially youngsters) need to gain that momentum before they can gallop.
Will cantering on asphalt injure horses?
Yes. It hurts their legs and they can slide if they have horseshoes on. If you're cantering on the asphalt once or twice it doesn't make a damage but it does hurt the horse.
How do you know if you are cantering on the correct leg?
The horse's inside leg will hit the ground last.
