You want to bend your horses head to the middle of the ring. (Not to much). Also, you want to use your outside leg to push your horse into a canter. (Outside = the leg to the OUTSIDE of the ring.)
Teaching a horse lead changes involves guiding the horse to change which front and hind legs lead during a canter or gallop. This is typically achieved through a series of cues and exercises that encourage the horse to shift their balance and coordination to make the lead change smoothly. It is important to start with basic groundwork and flatwork exercises before progressing to ask for lead changes under saddle.
It is a gait, not a gate. The answer is most likely "3-beat".
No, a horse does not have to return to walking before transitioning from cantering to galloping. However, it is important to have a balanced and controlled canter before asking for the gallop to ensure a smooth transition. Riders should work on developing their aids, balance, and timing to make the transition fluid and controlled.
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!
The rocking motion of your hips while cantering a horse is often referred to as "following the motion" or "riding the canter." This movement helps maintain balance and stay in rhythm with the horse's gait, allowing for a smoother and more harmonious ride.
you can learn the flying lead change or you can go back to the walk and ask him to canter again.
The left lead, which is the inside front.
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.

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
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.
The horse's inside leg will hit the ground last.
false
If you look down to the front inside leg when your horse is cantering, it should be taking a shorter stride then the outside leg, and that will tell you that the horse is on the wrong lead. You don't nesesarily need to see the whole leg, you can just watch the shoulders, and that will tell you to.
