cantering is a 3 beat ...first you have to feel 100% comforable with walking and trotting.to make your horse canter give him a big kick.keep kicking until it feels smoother and faster then a trot..if your horse doesent go into a canter with a few big kicks try kissing to him.
GOOD LUCK!

When the horse is cantering & you want it to walk,pull back on the reins a little & say whoa
When a horse is cantering it is a three beat gait, if you count whilst someone else is cantering a horse you should be able to count one two three in seconds hope i helped Ta, Eaimer
Pull on the reins
The left lead, which is the inside front.
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
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.
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.
pull back on the reins gentle and say walk keep pulling harder till he stops and keep saying walk till he walks
The horse's inside leg will hit the ground last.

Start by mounting your horse and get into a canter and then make your horse canter in an anti-clockwise circle and your cantering on the left rein.
You always have your heels down when riding a horse. Toes pointing out, heels down, legs still and underneath the horse.
