Best Answer

If your horse is on the correct lead in canter, around a corner the horses inside leg should lead first, so that there is enough balance. If the horse is on the wrong lead, the outside leg will lead and it will be harder for it to get round as it is unbalanced to the strides will be choppy and bouncy to ride.

How do you know when lopeing a horse that your on the correct lead?

When you first start out, you may have to look down at the horse's shoulders. Whichever should extends farther is the lead the horse in on. However, with more practice you will be able to feel each footfall and know which lead the horse is on through your seat. It helps to practice on the lunge with a trainer, so you can drop your stirrups and reins and just concentrate on feeling the horse's movement.

Where do you kick a Horse do get him in the correct lead?

You dont have to kick your horse in a particular way. Start on a corner when your horse is naturally bent to the inside. This means that the weight of the horse is mostly on his inside foreleg and backleg, making him fall on it and taking the larger stride with the inside fore, which means he is on the correct lead. as long as your horses head is tipped in, 9/10 chance you will get it Usually the cue to a certain lead is to have your inside leg a bit forward and your outside leg a bit back (mimicing the position your horse's front legs are in) and squeeze. Sometimes you might slightly tip the nose to the inside, but do not pull the head around- this unbalances the horse and makes the correct lead next to impossible.
