By: EpicBlueSpikes. on 14 Apr 12, 23:04:09 no? offence but its very hard to follow a horses natural movement when there's tension in your body, not to mention the fact of the horse might pick up on that tension and become uncomfortable doing whatever your asking for, If your forcably doing something, it creates this tension, after many months etc your heels give stretch enabling you to angle them down further, as long as you heel is lower than your toe your alright. ;)

By: caitlyneFUCK. on 21 Mar 12, 17:36:23 LOL more like a troll rider. you want to keep your hands as quiet and steady as possible when riding. your horse should already know your in charge if you're planning on cantering for the first time, whether as a rider or with a green horse. you should push through your seat using your outside leg as? a signal and your inside leg as a guide. if your horse bucks or charges, half halt, bring them into a circle, or slow back down into a steady trot before trying again.

I'm a pro horse ... By: DivaDiva231. on 04 Nov 11, 07:09:05 I'm a pro horse rider so i sugest if you wanna canter a horse do this 1. Click your tongue as if your calling a dog,doing? so will canter your horse 2.Use your right foot to gently kick the horses side,doing so will make your horse go into a canter as well 3.Whip the reigns to make your horse canter,I reccomend whipping the reigns to let the horse know your in charge,failure to do so will cause the horse to buck you off.I hope this came in handy for you people who wanna ride a horse thumbs up 2ya

1.? I've noticed that pressing helps me a lot
2. If your horse doesn't respond to squeezing, try clucking and kicking :)
3. pretty much the same as 2- clucking, kicking, squeezing, whatever works best.
