Exercises to help with - may be long sorry!

[sherbet]

I went for a lesson with a new instructor yesterday her daughter has won serval gold medals at junior leval, so I feel she knows her stuff. My normal instructor came with me she came on her new boy to give him a outing and get some advice. My normal instructor said that my ridding was not as good as I normal ride as she thinks I was nervous.

We know that my boy is week in canter so any ideas on how to improve the canter

Also she said that I need to try and ride with a deeper set so any exercise I can try ridden and un ridden

For a deeper seat, lots of riding without stirrups, and for strengthening his canter doing lots of transitions into canter helps, building up the amount of time you canter for slowly. Also try free schooling and lungeing in canter, and doing lots of circling in canter. Later on, try canter poles. Good luck xx
