Getting into the canter can be a challenge! For so many riders the transition into the canter can be a truly bumpy, hair-raising, rushed, and flat experience.  There is none of the upward, poised, clean, and intentional 1 that leads to the 2, 3 for the canter stride. It is just a matter of creating enough momentum with a flat, running trot to finally, eventually, fall into the canter. Not good!  But all is not lost...

I believe that by working on a few key elements in your riding and your training with your horse, you can literally transform your canter transition in a VERY short period of time.

The key to doing this is to first be very honest with yourself.  Honest about both your abilities and what you are doing.  And also, your horse's abilities. Is he actually  'able' to simply step from a trot into a canter, carrying you, at this level in his training?  That there is a really good question and one that's worth getting clear on today.
