One of the fun things about canter is the 'moment of suspension'.  Except when this 'moment' applies to the rider, not just the horse!  Yes, there is a moment when the horse will be 'off' the ground; suspended in midair.  However, we definitely don't want you to experience this bouncing in the canter.

Becoming airborne whenever your horse strides in the canter is no fun!  And the 'land' when you connect with the saddle again brings little relief.  Instead of being a safe and reassuring place to 'come back to earth'; it can feel like the saddle is trying to push you back into 'thin air' again.  Never a good feeling!

In order to truly stop bouncing in the canter, I think you first have to understand the canter. And what your body needs to do in order to stay moving with the horse, rather than against it.
