Do you really know how your horse moves in canter?
Many riders think the canter starts with the front leg — but that’s not true. In this video, I use coloured leg bandages to give you a clear visual guide to the canter stride and help you feel what’s really happening underneath you.
🎥 In this lesson, you’ll discover:
The true sequence of legs in canter (outside hind, diagonal pair, leading leg)
Why your timing matters when asking for the correct lead
How to feel the rhythm through your seat bones and hips
The best moment to ask for an upward or downward transition
How this knowledge helps when progressing to walk–canter transitions
If you’ve ever struggled with canter aids, missed leads, or felt unsure of what your horse’s legs are doing, this simple explanation will make everything much clearer.
👉 Watch now to finally understand and feel the canter, not just ride it.
