Best Answer

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.

How many hours a day trail ride a horse daily?

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!


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!
