Lead Changes (  Gabble 05-23-2011 07:48 PM  Lead Changes I
resently began riding again ( I had my second lesson saturday)
and I began canterering on a horse, Paco. He was fine going
left, but I when we went right, he stayed in the left lead. Im
not really sure how to fix this, thanks, gabby  MyBoyPuck
05-23-2011 08:00 PM  Make sure the bend is correct to the
inside. $10 says he's looking to the outside when you cue for
the canter depart.  Kayty 05-23-2011 11:07 PM  Does he know
flying changes? If you're cantering around on the left lead and
suddenly turn right, unless he know's lead changes he's going to
stay on the left lead, or disunite. If you're lucky he'll feel
unbalanced and give you a clean change. If you are just doing
basic flat work, when you change rein in canter, just bring the
horse back to trot for a few strides, change bend and flexion,
and ask for the correct canter lead.  upnover 05-25-2011 09:58
