this is how you get a horse to canter:
do a half halt, holding that energy in her, turn her head to the rail, or fence, and say "canter" very loudly and kick and cluck. good luck! it is really fun to canter bareback, too
You probably won't need to kick most horses. A small amount of pressure from your outside leg just behind the girth will tell a well-trained horse to canter. If you are asking for the caner and the horse refuses, first make sure there is nothing causing him pain (a vet can look at his back and hocks for problems) and that the saddle fits without pinching. A horse won't canter if he's in pain. Make sure you ask for the canter from a steady, forward-moving trot and if the horse still refused to canter, follow up with a tap from a whip until he gets the idea. Be careful not to pull back on the reins, as this will just confuse the horse
