Is there a proper way to ride double? My son wanted to canter today so I tried it, and it was awful! It's not something that I'd want to do regularly but would like to know how to do it properly!
 
Well, we did it like this in Kenya!

Person in front feet in stirrups and person behind just sat in saddle seat. Was slightly more difficult as we were doing ride & lead at canter as well :p
I have a better pic of us riding double but I'm too afraid to put it on HHO - I'll get slated!! :p
 
I remember riding with someone in saddle and me behind with feet in stirrups and holding reins. Cant remember about canter but trot was surprisingly comfortable.
 
We used to do it all the time when I was a teenager but we always rode bareback. We rode miles but we fell off a lot :D
