this is the exact same exercise Malin Baryard Johsson showed on youtube :) (search youtube: Träning: Lydnad, Rytm och Galopp - We Love Horses )

I think for this exercise it's not necessary to sit to the canter.. It's a lot easier for the horse if u keep your weight out of the saddle.

@9yrhunterjumper She also needs to sit to her canter.

Sit to the canter.....

[naptimeponygirl]

stop rocking back and forth so much in canter. this will help your horse to be more balanced when you come to do bigger fences and he will have less chance of knocking them.

0:58 it looks as tho her left stirrup is higher than her right one. make sure your stirrups are the same length. she migh have gotton allittle off balance in the saddle and forced the saddle to the right wich in turn movd her left stirrup. sometimes that happens so make sure that every once in a while you check to make sure everything is centured.
