Getting into Canter on Your Easygoing or Lazy Horse

Getting into canter on an easygoing or lazy horse can be exhausting!  And while we do love our laidback equines… Can we all be honest in admitting how, sometimes, just a little more enthusiasm would change everything?  The good news is that you can quickly begin to change this in your horse.

You see, often, the trot to canter is often a symptom of a bigger issue – a lack of responsiveness.

Increasing your horse’s responsiveness is possible. It will take a consistent approach from you – and the transformation can be instant…
