How does a disunited Canter feel?

[pipper]

Can some one explain please? Cantering out on a hack this morning - it didnt feel right - very 'onesided' just 'wrong' - felt bouncy but not in a nice way....
Was this disunited do you think?
Not lame in any way - even when lunged on cicle....

Bunny hopping! Back legs bounce you up out of the saddle, almost like a mini buck, but not quite. IME.

Quite possibly. Sitting on a "bad" disunited canter to me feels like I'm on a boat being battered by the sea from all angles! I feel thrown about and wibbled all over the place. A horse that "covers up" its disunited canter feels less extreme but still just uncomfortable and odd.

Try coming back to trot and asking again and see if it feels different

They do it from time to time, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about!

It feels lumpy - a bit like a bike with one oval wheel - not soft and smooth.

Really difficult to describe!

to me it feels like riding a teletubby, very wobbly bum and not co-ordinated

A little like they might fall over on some yet others seem quite good at it !!!!
