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!
You can come back to trot and then re-ask for canter on the correct lead. Or if you and the horse are very experienced then you can do a flying change!
A horse can not skip, but a high level dressage horse does what are called tempi changes. A tempi change is when the horse changes lead in the canter. Check out an example on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAnTMNAbRLI
To back or break
The best thing to lead a horse with is called a leading rope. i hope you found the answer you were lookin for here. But yes i would definatley say the answer would be a leading rope. You can lead the horse by the reins but the best thing to lead a horse with would be a leading rope.
You use a lead rope. You clip the lead rope to the bottom of the halter and you hold the lead rope and walk to the left of your horse, and just lead him/her around.
you buy a halter and put it on your horse and snap a lead rope on it and lead it outside.
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.
After teaching it to walk on a lead rope, you need to teach it how to tie to a post, or railing. Then teach it how to tie on cross ties.
Have you ever heard of dressage? They basically make the horse dance. You can teach the horse reining manuvers, (sliding stop, lead changes, run-downs, spins, etc), cow cutting, barrel racing, trail riding, and many other disciplines. Groundwork is very important to teach your horse, and once you have ground work down pat, you can even teach your horse tricks like smile, yes, and more advanced tricks like bow, lay down and even rearing up!
Of course you can teach a western horse to ride english.
it depends on what you would like to teach them. if you would like to break them in and you don't know how, it's probably best to call a professional. if you would like to teach tour horse how to jump, you put them on a lead rope and put them in a round yard until you have taught them the words: walk on, trot, canter, whoah etc. then you must have a lot of patience for the horse.
when you are going across the diagonal pull your horse back to trot change their leg so they are on the right one . shorten the trot in the middle every time and soon you wont have to pull them up
When you lead a horse, you should stand between it's head and it's withers, or even at the shoulder. So, no, you should not "lead" it but you should not let the horse lead you.
You could use a lunge line, long lines, lead ropes (leading the horse) or even teach it to pull a light cart. You could also have someone else pony the horse for you.
To lead a horse you would use a halter and lead rope. The lead rope attaches to the halter.
A horse probably already knows how to walk before you halter break and teach him to lead. But it is important to have a horse that will walk quietly and safely by your side as you lead him. It is best that a horse learns this as a very small baby. Restraint can be a very scary lesson for a horse. Always lead your horse while standing on the 'fore' side, his left. While teaching him to lead try not to get too far ahead and look back at him. Turning and looking back will cause him to slow or stop. Always praise him for any forward movement even 1 step. Practice leading every day 2 or 3 times a day for just a few minutes. Short lessons several times a day are better than 1 long lesson, especially if your working a young horse.
A halter and lead line. The halter is placed around the horse's head and the lead line is clipped on to the halter so you can lead your horse with the lead line. Lead line=Same as lead rope ;)
A good starter horse would be an older horse that can show you the ropes. When most people want to get their first horse they rush out and buy a younger horse that they can train the way that they want. This is not the proper thing to do. When buying a horse you want a horse around the ages of 12 and 15 that is calm and has lots of riding experience. Once you have bought the horse you will be able to work on things you need to work on - like say flying lead changes - and the horse will be able to do it without you having to re-teach them. Remember though, when buying a horse always try it out and have your coach or other experienced horsey person there to give their opinion! Have fun horse shopping :)
