No panic canter at last....

[shirl62]

Some of you lovely people may remember my attempts at the canter a few months ago...Then I was injured in a fall after a spook. After recovery from my injuries my confidence was very low ....but after a few more lessons and a pair of brave pants I did the canter today. Not very elegant but at least I didn't panic..[video]https://www.facebook.com/shirley.walsh.14/videos/10156459647669554/[/video]

Can see this one!

Congratulations, well done, and the videographer seems as happy as you!

Lovely arena and pony too

 

[highlandponygirl]

Yay, good work Shirl. What a nice big arena too.

 

[shirl62]

Yes the pony was lovely and the arena was very big...I lost count the times I had to trot round it...enough to say I was rather tired and my face was like a beetroot !The videographer was my twin sis who was very supportive and happy that I managed to overcome my fear. Now I have to do some catching up to be on par with her...lol

[Pearlsasinger]

I can see it now. That looks like a great early attempt, not especially stiff and not hanging onto the mouth. Well done!

 

[Amye]

Looking good! Well done

That's a really good arena, you've got a good long side to get into the stride of a good canter before hitting a corner, where you can drop back to trot if you don't keep your leg on.

 

[moosea]

wow! what a huge improvement!

Well done you!
