This is the best explanation and demonstration of how to pick up the correct lead. I ride a horse that is very "left-handed" and getting the right lead is tricky. I know I haven't been cuing correctly, so I will try this technique the next time I ride. Thanks so much!
same here! except he won’t pick up his left lead
My horse will never pick up the right lead unless I use my left rein to tilt head to the outside. This bring right shoulder forward forces correct lead. It’s just harder to do around a right turn. Straight away is easiest. Trying to make it less obvious as we continue to work on it.
This video is brilliant!!! I've been struggling with canter lead right for months on my 5yr old ...tried everything imaginable, watched this video and everything made sense ! Rode him the same night and couldn't believe it worked straight away ! Did lots of trot to canter transitions using this method and was laughing with joy ! People at the yard now think I'm a bit mental but how brill !!! Thank you
After watching this video, I practised getting the correct lead today and bingo I got the right lead every time ... counter flexion tip especially useful. Very well explained !!
youve made my day. Is your dog really called vegemite. Good to know some Aussies embrace their stereotypes
Basically everyone in Australia eats Vegemite so it's actually true...
I'mJustASadTwigOfLemonMyrtle do you live in Australia or just picking up the stereotype?
Ive been schooling a horse who won't change their lead, I am so used to asking a certain way with my horse, so I really needed this thanks!
Love the simple basic lessons. I'm re-starting my rescue thoroughbred and these lessons help me very much. Thank You.
Keep the videos coming! Most clips only show demonstrations on a horse so I found it helpful to see what happens with your legs on the ground without the distraction of a horse.
Love the visualization!
These are so useful for teaching younger riders.
Sally Swift did this well, so glad to see someone younger following up!
This is very helpful! I’ve been watching videos on this type of stuff all afternoon and this makes so much sense. I have a young horse that is unbalanced and is very messy and fast into his canter. Going to try this next time I ride😁
Very clear explanation on Evention tv on picking up correct canter leads. Thank you!
I love you guys. My horse often is incorrect going counter clockwise. Which is too funny because all last year he refused to bend properly going clockwise. This year is total opposite.
Thanks so much, my daughter has been having problems with her canter take offs on the wrong lead this will help bunches.
Very very helpful, iv got a young colt that is stubborn about taking his right lead. l look forward to giving youre advice a go...thank you
I love that you explain how the horse naturally moves & analogies.
*can you expand on this & explain how to ask for a lead change, please? Trying to work on it with my daughter!
This really helped. Now I understand what my trainer is talking about better. Thanks!
When I see these videos it gives me such hope that I can improve but at the same time I see how badly I ride in comparison, argh!
Omg Ikr! 😨😭😭
Feel free to check my riding clips to see how unstable I am though I do have passion to improve. I just lack the feel.
+Agui007 I know
Yep same here😭😔
I watch these videos like I watch Clinton Anderson on tv ,Im glued!
Wow! Thank you so much. This is exactly what I had troubles with. Thanks again
this is the best, most sensible explanation ever
I am just starting to canter and this really helped me understand thanku so much and by the way your horse is just beautiful
Yay this is the exact same issue I've been having lately riding my green mount. Thanks for breaking it down :)
Best videos on the net! Greetings from Tehran!
Love the AC/DC "Back in Black" music! LOL
Thank you so much for the tips. I'm a beginner and this is a great help for me.
thank you! currently looking for tips about how to pick up the correct lead when landing after a jump- that would be wonderful
YOU guys are awesome thank you you explain things in a way that make it so easy to understand and vegemite is even cooler
cheers mates!
Posting Diagnols video please? Love your guys videos, very helpful and educational. Thanks for posting them.
The opening was ridiculously dramatic and I love it.
What a handsome powny! Reminds me of my old boy, Benny 💙
Can you please make a video about positions in cantering like how to stay in the saddle? The sitting trot video helped so much! Thank you!
Whoever picks the music for your episodes has great taste! I think I heard Jason Aldean last week and Kip Moore this week? Good music AND fantastic training tips? I'll go for that!
Omg! I love this!! You have just helped me a ton!! My horse only likes to go to the left lead canter and if I lean his shoulders to the right and the hind leg is in the position for take off into the right lead canter, his front legs go into the right lead canter and he takes an extra step with his hinds and goes into the left lead with his hinds and switches his front feet to the left lead, confusing isn't it? Haha, I hope that counter flexion trick will work!! :3
I love the way he says Facebook! -Great video!
As always very helpful - Thank you
This was really helpful for me
can you also make a video on independent seat and hands
Oh my gosh!
I love your accents! 😂😍
Thank you! Love from Canada!
Best explanation! Thank you wish me luck
I enjoyed it very much ! and thank you
These help so much! Thank you so much
Seriouly all my expensive lessons and trainers !!!couldn't make it this fundamental!
Hi! sorry your asking envention, but my 14.2hh cob always gives bucks when I tap him with the crop for a canter..
if you think about it when a horse bucks you, you are thrown forward, but when you use the crop be already in a leaning forward position (like your 2 point position) so you don't get thrown, so basically the horse will just be bucking air and not you! :) (I can always feel when he's about to buck, and every time I feel it I go into that position) :D
Thanks x
I would love a video on lead changes! I have a lot of trouble with those, mainly that I always get a crossfire instead of a full change.
i was learned to pull the outside rein a bit and do sitting trot then squeez for canter
Nobody But Us Equestrians Know How AWESOME this is
Works perfectly! Thank you!
Thx Good video. Kind regards from Denmark.
Really good explanation .
My horse struggles with flying lead change should I try counter flexion when asking to change leads and see if that helps my horse better understand. Of course first ill ask for canter and go across the diagonal ask for trot then ask for the other lead first, so I'm not rushing her into it. Her old owner told us she's never been able to do a flying lead change so I wonder if having her counter flex instead of bending her to the inside will help.
Great video, thank you. When do you do the half halt?
i love your videos!!! can you pretty please to a video on flying lead changes and/or a video of leg yields after a jump. It would help mme out so much !!!
Thanks!!!
this makes sense!! explained so well, thankyou!!
YOUR DOGS NAME IS VEGEMITE HOLY MOLY
The intro is amazing
I love these videos! Would you do one on how to get a very lazy horse moving?
how do u get a right canter on a normal horse because obscenity problems with soda s cantering and how do u canter coners
can u please do a video on how to keep a horse cool during the summer?
Excellent tutorial.....
Thank you it was very helpful
i have a TB mare that usually would race counter clockwise and i've heard that it is usually her other side that is weaker.. but my mare's stronger side is clockwise and her racing way is her weaker way. she wont pick up the correct lead counterclockwise. any ideas?
My gosh I love the intro video! I know you said to post ideas of your facebook page, but seeing as Im logged in on CZcams, could you possibly do a info video of helping to control and correct a fast horse?
can you please do a "getting a good jumping position/two-point" video??!!
This helped me so much thank you 🙃
The problem I have with my horse is that he picks up the right lead beautifully but on the left lead he moves off my leg and picks up the wrong lead,even if I ask him correctly he'll start on the correct lead but as soon as he finds a straight he switches he's leads again.Atleast after I've been cantering him on the lead for a while and I keep taking him back and I ask him again to canter he'll start picking it up but it is understandable because he is still young but he usually gets it after the 3 or 4 try.
This was really helpful!
Once I saw this video I've been picking up the correct canter lead ......😀
The MOST important thing when asking for a lead is to use the correct timing of the “ask”
If you ask when the outside front is on the ground and moving back he will trike off on the other lead. This works for both walk and trot.
So are you saying when asking for the right lead canter, you get the right shoulders inward and put a little more pressure on the left rein? My horse was an x race horse and he fights the right lead all the time!
can u please make a video on jumping posision ? my landing goes always wrong , how should i jump right ?
your theme song is so catchy!
This really helped me. I wasnlaughin at the good day bit 😆
Could u do an episode on how to get the horse nice and round on the bit please??
Can you help me find a sound horse? Gelding 16'3" hunter/jumper?
great video!!
The horse my sister rides has just begun his teen years. His back has been 'twisted' for many years now, so he is weaker on the left rein. This has resulted to him cantering on the wrong lead when on the left rein to balance himself, is there anything she can do to try to get him on the correct lead or is he too stuck in his ways now?
My horse only picks up a left lead canter if he jumps something, will the reverse flexing help this?
Can you do a video on how to keep your legs forward while jumping
really good video !! helps me a lot :) thanks !!
This is really helpful! thanks! :)
can you please do a video on how to do a flying lead change? I've seen so many videos but none of them make any sense! thanks
To start with the right leg is easy but to change it while cantering from right to left or the opposite I still can't do it :(
Could you please make a video on how to stop your horse drifting away from the wall in the school? When I come back to trot from canter on my right rein my horse turns its head to the left but trots towards the centre of the school(to the right). I'm finding it very difficult to push her back over with my leg.
Thanks, Amy :)
could you maybe do a video on how to make a horse more forward going when jumping?
I agree with ilovetonto18!!! But the horse I ride has a very slow canter off the bat and I jump 2 6 during my lessons so obviously I need a more forward canter. My trainer is always telling me to use the crop but I'm afraid to because he bucks whenever i do. Like major buck. (I usually flip flop my reigns to get him moving but it doesn't always work). Do u have any tips on how I can survive a buck without being thrown off or just sprung forward? Or any on how I can make sure he doesn't buck?
Can you make a video on teaching OTT TBs on picking up the RIGHT (not correct I mean the direction right like the direction left) just bought a 4yo OTT TB gelding and he can't canter on the RIGHT lead! He can canter on the LEFT lead but on the right he just won't canter on it, I just bought him a week ago so I haven't had any time to train him yet, so can you make a video on that?
THANKS
(Like this comment if you agree and want a video for this)
OMG same we just got a 4yo OTT TB mare about a month ago and she could canter on the right but she’s so much better on the left, on her right she just gets confused.
Please please do a video on lead changes, it would be ever so helpful (:
From a western perspective, canter leads are led from the hip. Left hip in left lead. Right hip in right lead
you are such an inspiration!
Can someone explain this to me please my instructed tried to explain how to lead but I can’t figure it out she said that’s why my pony always breaks
I'm late, but I always have trouble picking up the correct lead. Maybe this'll help! (I haven't watched the video yet)
Your location shows PA, top of homepage shows Texas, but you're sounding like youre from Australia..nice mix!
My horse must just hate to change leads.... but this is sooooooooo helpful!!!!
Thank you!
can you do a video on jumping positioon??!!!!!
Pleaaaseeeee how to achive long and low and engage the back end!!
The basic point to remember is that if you ask at precisely the moment the outside front foot is moving back he will always take the other lead.
Can you do flying lead changes?
Good it really helped me
YES ! Please
AHHH! I'm so frustrated! I have been working on this a long time. My boy ALWAYS wants to do a right lead. Even if I can get a left lead, after trying many, MANY times, he won't keep it. The saddle has been fitted, he doesn't have back pain. He'll pick up the lt lead fine on the lunge line. And, yes, I do have a trainer. But we're getting no place fast.
wiselady 425 I know this was a year ago, but it sounds like your horse is weak on the left lead and isn’t physically able to keep it. Building muscle and working on that lead will help! Plus being balanced in the saddle helps as well!
