Slowing Your Horse Canter Down 🐎

Today's video is about working on our calmness in our our canter, as Solo gets a bit excited sometimes and runs off with me. To do this, I just let him canter underneath me, without being to worried about the quality or my position. When he was too fast I made him go in a circle (about 20 m) and let him gradually slow down and rewarded the slower canter with a walk break. This is an issue that has been improving with every ride, and is just a young/green horse thing. I hope you enjoyed this video, bye-bye!
Also, note how gorgeous the sunset was that day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good work, he maintains a nice frame.

[@LeoEquestrian]

Thank you, yes at the end he looked much better. At the first canter he was kind of ruining of with no so good frame. That’s why I kept working until he did good, as he knows 👍

My new horse is super fast as well and I’m still working on her getting slower. Good job! Please give me tips!

[@LeoEquestrian]

Thank you. With Solo I let him run until he slow down, and we start to work on a goo canter. Also, he does better in circles ~20m than in straight line. A lot of ground work and transitions wtc up and down 👍👍👍

Hi! I have a question for you: what brand are your tall boots in this? I love them 😍

[@LeoEquestrian]

They are Dressage Ariat!!! No the cheapest ones, but very comfortable 😃😃😃

[@equinekatie]

Do have any tips for how to sit a canter and this is awesome, I might be cantering a pony with a fast canter so I need to know how to slow her a bit!

[@LeoEquestrian]

I find that doing a circle and letting them do their thing during the circle and when they want to trot, just asking them to keep going works well. Normally Solo will give me a slower/nicer canter when I do that.
