Pull on the reins
When the horse is cantering & you want it to walk,pull back on the reins a little & say whoa
pull back on the reins gentle and say walk keep pulling harder till he stops and keep saying walk till he walks
DEFINITELY NOT! Canter is the 3rd gate, and gallop is the 4th gate, so if you bring your horse back to walk (the 1st gate), it would be extremely difficult for the horse to pick up a gallop. You would have to go straight from canter to gallop. I suggest that if you did not know that, you should not be galloping.
Only a little, move your seat to the 'cantle' at the back of the saddle and circle your pelvis so that you move smoothly with your horse. :)
yes and no depending on how much you weigh
you can learn the flying lead change or you can go back to the walk and ask him to canter again.
You pull gently on the reins. With the English style of riding, it's more about your seat and leg than your hands. You keep your horse in the canter using the outside leg and your seat and when you want to transition to the walk, you sit deeply in the saddle and take your outside leg off your horse. You can pull gently on the reins as well but it should not be necessary with a well-trained horse.
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!
yes it does as when your body is moving back and for with the horses movement the hyman can easily break .the hyman is more likely to when ridng bare back and/or cantering as it is more rough
Make sure the horse doesn't try to attack you and keep on walking, or running! Although, I don't think you can outrun an angry horse. Try to outsmart it and fight back. :)
If your horse is well trained he/she wont, but for help keep the contact with the bit and keep your shoulders back remember keep the same grip with the reins as you would trotting but let the hands flow with the rhythm of the horses gait, hope i helped Ta, Eaimer
I have been riding 9 years, and by the 4 year mile stone, I was walking, trotting, cantering, jumping at least 2 foot, and could do a turn on the fore and back hand. I hope that is some help, you might be doing more than I was. That is about where i am up to thank you :)
