beautyiful seat:) idk how long ago this video was? 2007 ? im sure u have improved greatly but here it looks as if your pullig on his mouth cos his head isnt round!! but im sure you two have improved greatly! gorgeous horse! good team <3
i cantered for the first time last sunday. bloody hell! its amazing! it would of been better tho if i fit the horse, he was a little small coz my usuall horse had done too much work on saturday.
my first time cantering was when i was 6 and i had a crAZY instructor who taught me to jump before i couyld canter :) but now i can still remember that amzing feeling of your first canter stride
I fell off a few times cantering horses for the first time, when I got on the horse I have now and cantered I got obsessed with it aha, But my EQ wasn't as good as yours! Well done.
Very "elegant" Horse!:) You are very good too:) Yeah she collected SOME not too much though, just not enough lol, remember, shorten ur reins up a smidge:) Just giving tips other than that it was beautiful:)
i used to hate cantering i got really scared :L now i cant get enough of it.
My riding instructor Lauras always telling me to slow down. haha . well done though in your video you look really comfortable and not too stiff up there. keep it up. how long have you been cantering? have you cantered bareback yet? x
wow that is one beauitfule mare!! you guys are great together have you jumped yet? Its fun i ride a 25year old chestnut mare i know shes old but she's one of the fastest horses there and when i first cantered on her i loved it but when we jumped even better it just feels like your fl;ying i really tust her do you trust your horse??? do not do anything wrong because if you walk trot and even canter on bareback it will help grow a really good bond!! <3 you look good for your first time its fun!!!!
my friend hit my horse on the butt and he cantered and i wish i can learn moms to much of a worker to help me learn i wish i have some horse friends insted of popy one. have any ideas of how to canter?
@SaddleClub345 If you want to learn to ride a horse, look for horse riding stables that give lessons in your area. That's how I started 2 years ago and now I part lease my friends horse! It's almost as if she's my own! You will get there, just start off small!
@Frenchtoaststicks29 Okay well trotting is more of a bounce and its like a slow run but its harder to balance on than a canter because you bouncing but on a cantering its very fast (depending on your horse) and you have to keep giving the horse little kicks so it will know to keep cantering but its a very smooth ride and you just got to keep your heels down and squeeze your calves but after awhile its easy but for the most part its so much fun and you won't stop smiling when you start it! (:
@wolfdemondxx haha yeah!:D like i was terrified at first because i thought i was gonna fall but its actually smooth and much easier than trotting haha
You look pretty good! The first time I cantered I looked like an old granny! All hunched over and my seat was awful!! Haha. Nice job for your first time
first time i cantered i was only riding one week and fell off! you look really good but some tips are for not having a good seat- sit back keep your heels down! and just let your hips swing with your horse :) my instructor always told to me think of as im rocking on a rocking chair lol and it actually works!! i hope that helps....
Thats great! The first time i canter was by accident. I didnt realize Bo was cantering,so i didnt gain the correct seat untill the last moment! Oops!!
so elegant. ive been watching "first canter" vids all afternoon and urs is the first where i wasnt talking to the comp saying "tighten ur reins!" or "heels down!" lol great job. ur both so graceful
Does anyone have any tips for Cantering i ahve been riding for a few months now any have been practcing Canter for a while and i just can't get it when i ride big heavy 15hh cobs i can cater perfectly on them or so i am told. :P put when it comes to riding ponies i can't get it and i boince around in the saddle every time :( and have near fallen off so if you have any tips please help.
@44HorseyGirl I think the problem to this is your leg isn't tight enough. On the Cob, they are very round and easier to maintain your balance on. The pony is thinner bodied and not as easy. Try keeping your heels down and tightening your leg and thigh. Also keep the weight in your sturrips the same. Hope this helps :-)
I cantered for the first time in about 2 years today all because I didn't have the confidence to start learning how to again :\ but I now regret not having that confidence because it is now my most favorite part of riding :D next to Jumping XD <3
my first time i didn hold on and i fell secoond time it was about three steps at a im three times third time i held on and went about five steps at a time fouth time (yesterday) I did without hands and for the firt time i didnt fell like i was going a million mph but i started in a turn she too a stride to fast and well you can guess
Better flopping reins that pulling back! Clearly you have the legs to guide him without reins. As you get more experiance, try squeezing him on with your calves to "push him into the bit" and gain a bit of collection. He may speed up a bit, but it will help him to utilize his hind quarters which drives the gain and collection. A beautiful horse and a nice first time!
I have got 1 tip for you, I hve orginally been riding for 10years and I own Bobby Sparrow Blue, Keep your reins alot tighter it will hep you relax more and feel more confidient Btw Beautiful horse Just like my albert
This wasnt her first time cantering on a horse, It was the first time her horse had cantered. And the horse hadnt been introduced to collected reins yet,
@BunnyzAreHot I'm not up to cantering yet, still perfecting my trot. I can't wait to canter though :D Is it really just, like so amazing like everyone says?
I mean everyone makes it out to be so amazing but people exaggerate you know, ahaha.
when you canter, you have to be able to feel the horses mouth, loose reins will mean your horse isn't collected. pick up your reins more, don't canter on loose reins. and in response to you saying "you don't know my horse. he didnt know what collection was at the time" horses know what collection is. it's up to the rider to put it into play. most horses are the same when it comes to collection. they know what it is and need a strong rider to put it into place (:
Nicely Done. I have been riding for 12 years and teaching for 5. You have a great seat and really move with the horse. Some friendly advice-no malice intended-try picking up your hands just a bit. We should be able to see your fluid motion through your wrists and elbows. But overall-I can't get over how solid your seat is. Well done!
wow! for your first time cantering that is amazing! on my first time i was bouncing all over the place and i also had someone running alongside me!! xx :D
your mare is very pretty and you both look so elegant! your the perfect size for her aswell, i have outgrown my horse toby (15.2 ) and iam looking for something in the region of 17 hands as i love big horses cause iam tall 5"11 , not trying to be rude but how tall are you cause you look quite tall aswell :)
I can hardly wait to b able to canter my horse. She is 3 and very green , I am working on the lunge with her and need to b able to canter her from the ground without a buck before I try it in the saddle. Nice vid
MusicMotives, I use to have the same problem until I figured out that I first needed to learn how to become one with the horse while just staying in a trot(sitting/slow/fast) then... Once you got that down you'll be able to move forward and will most likely have the balance you need to accomplish a canter. It takes practice, that's all. Good luck! ;)
@MusicMotives it's ok if they flap if ur just riding for fun but if u want to fix it use ur knees to grip u have to use a lot of yer leg muscles u have been rising bareback for 3 years on my horse, it's easy
erm i have a question to anyone who rides horses...how the heck do u keep your legs still in canter? D: ive really been struggling cause mine always flap about :( i just want an answer cause ive tryed all sorts of things help!
i just recentley started cantering my appendix for his first few times and i know what you mean by floppy reins. the reins aren't jerking his mouth and yet you still have control. so all is good. the horse is just trying to figure out where to place his feet and get balanced. so his head is gonna be down and relaxed. not collected and perfect on his first try. she obviously has expierence with horses. she is a pretty good rider. :)
You are an amazing rider, but here's a tip: Keep your heels down, I tend to let mine lose all the time and I hurt myself pretty bad once. You are SO good :D
Quite recently I went through a time when I was really scared to canter. Even though I had done it a lot, I was always riding a pony I had fallen off like four times. I think you should do some work without stirrups because it can improve your balance... Hope this helps :)
for a first canter.. it was a million times better than mine when i first started. i looked like napoleon dynamite.. if you ever see the very very very ending after all of the credits... well wow that was wayyy off topic.... so what im saying is.. your really good
im still really scared to canter, i just need confidence i trust the horse i ride and all but everytime he speeds up to canter i just freak out and fall off, any tips?
You were great! I don't know why people keep saying what you did wrong. It was your first time! My first time, I cried! I was 8! You would cry too if the first time you cantered was on a bucking horse! I fell off, and it was a new horse, so he ran away. I don't know why, most horses will not run, but I guess he was just new. He bucked me off and ran the first time I cantered.
You looke pretty chilled. I was totally nervous my first time cantering. But I was riding a lazy horse so I don't know why I was so afraid when now I canter on feisty ponies. LOL <3
Dont be offendedhes a gorgeous horse and you look really good on him but he looks really small for a 17hh horse more like 15hh to mee. Or yer just tall:) But you look amazing, keep riding!
@horsiegal98 I wasnt talking about Toxicjumpers comment. There is a comment farther down where some1 is saying the girl in the video made was just saying its her first time cantering to make it seem like she a perfect lil angle and something about her being a cow.
Xhorseyfreak123X or something like that(its down farther). obviously no1 understood that that was who i was regarding my comment to and keep commenting on mine as if IM being a bitch.
your reins weren't flipping because his head wasn't collected, his head wasn't collected because your reins were flipping. if you want your horse collected, pick up your reins so that you can feel his mouth, ride uphill and on your bum, lift your hands up and ride into your hands with your seat and leg.
@jumptobump sorry but this statement is rubbish! every hrose can be ridden with contact on the reins. heck we have a horse that was broken in 2 months ago that is ridden with contact on the reins! you can have contact with the reins at any length the last thing you want is them flapping about!
@jumptobump just because your horse dosent mean collection, dosent mean you become lazy-you looped ur reins, and then pressed them on his neck.... thats honestly not going to help, on any horse
@jumptobump to have a horse collect you must have a steady contact on the reins and drive them into the contact. this cant be done with reins flapping around. if your reins are flapping around it means you dont have a contact on the horses mouth and you are sending the horse fuzzy messages. lovely seat and props for having the guts to canter on such a loose rein.
I was told by a 2* Eventer, my aunt that the best way is to keep hold of his mouth firmly with your outside leg and rein. Then play with your inside leg and rein to encourage him to come onto the bit.
Just wondering who told you that was the way to do it, is it a a new way?, I'm going to try it though... lol :)
great job for you horses first time! i was woundering what does it feel like to canter in an english saddle? because i have cantered before but in a westurn. so what does it feel like? and was it fun or scary your first time in an english saddle?
I NEED HELP when im at a canter i keep losing my outside sturrup( sp.?) iv asked about the length and my unstuctor says they're ok but they still dont feel righT-T should i try different sturrup leathers all together?
good job! :D

i just recentley started cantering my appendix for his first few times and i know what you mean by floppy reins. the reins aren't jerking his mouth and yet you still have control. so all is good. the horse is just trying to figure out where to place his feet and get balanced. so his head is gonna be down and relaxed. not collected and perfect on his first try. she obviously has expierence with horses. she is a pretty good rider. :)

You are an amazing rider, but here's a tip: Keep your heels down, I tend to let mine lose all the time and I hurt myself pretty bad once. You are SO good :D

Quite recently I went through a time when I was really scared to canter. Even though I had done it a lot, I was always riding a pony I had fallen off like four times. I think you should do some work without stirrups because it can improve your balance... Hope this helps :)

You were great! I don't know why people keep saying what you did wrong. It was your first time! My first time, I cried! I was 8! You would cry too if the first time you cantered was on a bucking horse! I fell off, and it was a new horse, so he ran away. I don't know why, most horses will not run, but I guess he was just new. He bucked me off and ran the first time I cantered.

You looke pretty chilled. I was totally nervous my first time cantering. But I was riding a lazy horse so I don't know why I was so afraid when now I canter on feisty ponies. LOL <3

horsiegal98 1 year ago
@horsiegal98 I wasnt talking about Toxicjumpers comment. There is a comment farther down where some1 is saying the girl in the video made was just saying its her first time cantering to make it seem like she a perfect lil angle and something about her being a cow.
Xhorseyfreak123X or something like that(its down farther). obviously no1 understood that that was who i was regarding my comment to and keep commenting on mine as if IM being a bitch.

your reins weren't flipping because his head wasn't collected, his head wasn't collected because your reins were flipping. if you want your horse collected, pick up your reins so that you can feel his mouth, ride uphill and on your bum, lift your hands up and ride into your hands with your seat and leg.

@xoToxicJumper thanks but you dont know my horse. he didnt know what collection was at the time

@jumptobump sorry but this statement is rubbish! every hrose can be ridden with contact on the reins. heck we have a horse that was broken in 2 months ago that is ridden with contact on the reins! you can have contact with the reins at any length the last thing you want is them flapping about!
RooWallaby 1 year ago
@jumptobump just because your horse dosent mean collection, dosent mean you become lazy-you looped ur reins, and then pressed them on his neck.... thats honestly not going to help, on any horse
neonrider333 1 year ago
@jumptobump A horse has natural ability to learn, and not doing the aids that ToxicJumper said won't help him in any way :/
PoNyStArZaNgEl 1 year ago
@jumptobump to have a horse collect you must have a steady contact on the reins and drive them into the contact. this cant be done with reins flapping around. if your reins are flapping around it means you dont have a contact on the horses mouth and you are sending the horse fuzzy messages. lovely seat and props for having the guts to canter on such a loose rein.

Hey,
Thats a funny way to get you horse on the bit :D
I was told by a 2* Eventer, my aunt that the best way is to keep hold of his mouth firmly with your outside leg and rein. Then play with your inside leg and rein to encourage him to come onto the bit.
Just wondering who told you that was the way to do it, is it a a new way?, I'm going to try it though... lol :)
