First you have to put yourself in a two point postion. Back straight, inside reins up outside reins taught, with the horses head pointing to the outside. Your inside leg should be by the girth your outside leg behind it. Tell your horse you're planning to canter then nudge him three times to get him to go, he'll probably start with a trot nudge again til he canters. You'll know the whole beat changes.

You can canter quite well and have not fallen off byt resently you have nearly always nearly fell of you keep losing control and have ended up in gallop what should you do?
The best way to slow a horse down without losing control or your center of gravity is to start circling the horse by pulling one of the reins to the side. The faster the horse is moving, the larger the circle should be, and when the horse is slowing down, make the circle smaller and smaller until the horse is stopped.

How can you get rid of your nerves before im about to canter on your horse?
think of how well you are doing to be cantering. It takes allot of trust between the horse and rider to comunicate, so think of how much the horse must trust you. If your horse runs off into canter, lean back and sit deap into the saddle. use voice alot, this will carm the horse and yourself, use slow words like 'steeaaady'.. If you are nervous about cantering, your horse will get nervous, so don't do it, at least on your horse. Try finding a short, old, slow horse or pony to learn to canter on. Short so that it is less of a fall, which does alot to help with nerves. Old so that it is calm, and slow because speed is scary, so a slow canter is best when getting over fears. Get comfortable on this little horse/pony, then build up to a little bit taller, younger, faster horse. Get comfortable, and repeat until you can ride your own horse confidently.

check its back you might be hurting it. you might be asking wrong. if u want to stop him from doing it keep riding through the bucking to teach him that it doesn't bother you so he doesn't do it anymore. a horse only bucks because he thinks that it will get him out of work.
Your horses won't canter help?
I know three ways: 1.Sometimes using poles will help. 2.you could also try to get your horse into a working trot and make him work hard. trot small circles, figure eights, anything to get him working, and then do whatever you have to to get him to canter, whether its a whip, spurs, ect.(im not saying be violent, but sometimes you just gotta get your point across) and let him rest at the canter. just drop the reins an let him canter where ever he wants. once he drops into a trot, work him again for a while and get the canter again. 3. get into an open place, out of the arena or in a bigger pen and see if the open space frees up his feet a little. you also might want to look and see if the saddle hurts him. if a saddle is pinching a horse, the canter is where it becomes the most obvious, so if cantering is hurting your horse, then no wonder he doesnt want to.
Will gripping with your knees help you stay on?
No it will just make you very tired. the best way to stay on when you are not experienced rider is. put a bit of pressure on the stirrup's, don't let the horse canter if you can avoid it, make yourself move with the horse, don't just sit on it. especially if you are not using a saddle.
