Just wondered how people go about getting their youngsters to canter in the school.
I have a cob x who is quite lazy, he is four now and hacks out and has the odd canter on rides.
He knows all the commands on the lunge but is quite hard to get into canter even then.
Working well in walk & trot but when I ask for canter & use voice commands he trots faster & faster.
Should I concentrate more on asking for canter on hacks, let him run into canter which eventually he will do in school? Any suggestions from people who back horses regularly?
