Finally cantered my 4yr old today...

[SavingGrace]

Not been through want of trying the lady training/bringing her on has been managing it no probs but we appeared to have hit a brick wall tll this afternoon! I told her I was adament that I was getting a cantering transition whether GG wanted to or not and we did it A full side of the arena on each rein... Small and insignificant I know but I just wanted to share

Well done! Hopefully you can build on it and it won't belong before you haveto remind yourself there was ever a problem

Well done you! All the little things add up! ( at least that's what I am telling myself with my 4yo!)

Thank you

She comes on so much each week Dottie Steering is still a bit dodgy but she is honest and sensible x

Well done you, my youngster is now rising 5 and I still haven't cantered her yet, my 14 year old son came up to stables last week to canter her for me to try to give me the confidence to do it, but i'm still a touch nervy, she's a bit edgy and unbalanced and likes an ickle buck as she goes into canter which gives me the colly wobbles

Well done! Not small and insignificant at all!

Well done, it's great when things finally fall into place. My 'angel' is now 6 and is still bucking in canter! I hope your horsey keeps up the good behaviour! X

Thanks guys Know what you mean about the balance.. our first attemp at canter left I pulled her up as we were heading straight for the wall bless her lol x Her trott work is coming on beautifully we have circles that actually look like circles now and shes lovely and forward. Still early days shes only been backed for 4 months. So proud of her though x
