@Horseyme206 thanks

that was good, but u might want to try cantering from a walk, it's a lot smoother and easier to do. it may take some getting used to, but its worth it. :-) i also noticed that you were out of the saddle a little. i ride hunter too and in hunter, you need to sit back relax and focus on keeping your center of balance. also, you might want to loosen your reins a little so your horse will have a longer stride and it will feel smoother.

lower ur butt just the tiniest bit. The hunter canter is supposed to be a very slight two point. find ur center balance and hug with your legs

well i'm riding him hunter so i do want to be forward and out of the saddle. thanks for commenting

I would try to sit deeper in the saddle it looks like your coming out of the saddle. I would also try to lighten the weight on you hands to prevent you leaning forward.
