try and go with the flow and sit deep in the saddle also try not to panic
otherwise the horse will do the same although when i took my horse to the
common he went into a flat down gallop twice! lucky me i did not fall off and managed to stop him but the second time i fell off but my horse thought i enjoyed it after that i was fine to canter it might just be if your riding a new horse you won't be used to his or her stride.
The paces of a horse are walking, trotting, cantering and galloping
No you can cue the horse to enter the gallop straight from the canter.
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!
It all depends on your horse. If you have a horse with good stamina, or you plan to only walk and trot, you can ride for longer. If you're like me, you love cantering, galloping and jumping over home made jumps :). You can't trail ride as long, it will tire your horse out. Sometimes, I'm on my horse for over 2 1/2 / 3 hours, but I give my horse breaks. It depends on what you can do and what your horse can do. :) I <3 riding :) hope this helps you!
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!
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.
No you can cue the horse to enter the gallop straight from the canter.
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.
false
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.
