I appreciate you showing the good and not so good transitions, and talking through the problems. Thank you, Amelia!

From Amsterdam (Netherlands) 🇳🇱

A particular ‘quirk’ of Andalusian’s is their tendency to anticipate. They want to please so they decide to help you. It can make schooling frustrating and amusing. After about three times I have to change the exercise otherwise I’m on Robohorse, who has memorized the exercise and is doing it himself, no aids required. That anticipation also can create excitement so I end up with lots of walk breaks until the concept that transitions in canter do not require compressing oneself like an accordion followed by an explosive launch a la capriole from the Spanish Riding School. 🐴🙄

This was great! I have troubles with this…and I will do my first competition in September (now 2024). I am a Swede in Spain riding a Holstiner. Thank you! 🙏

Very informative

Thankyou for sending me this link Amelia! Goodness he's a beautiful horse, & frankly I'm in awe of your ability & yout teaching. I'm no way near 2nd level or capable of teaching my horse nor executing myself, these dimple changes. Yet still I live to watch & arm myself with as much information as possible, to atleast understand what I'm looking at & aspiring to. I love too, that you're able yo spend your life doing horses! That would be my dream! Kudos to you for your dedication & sharing 👏🏼 🙌 🐎💘

The rein back is a great tip

I've been riding for four months and your videos have pushed me to become a better rider,from trots,to canters it's also helped me learn more on how to ride my horse,I'm jumping fences as high as 70,80,90 occasionally.Thank you for the tips I'll probably be going for my first jumping show in a month or two Godwilling.

This was a really great video and addressed some of the challenges I face- like anticipating and rushing through the center of the figure 8. It was great to see how you took your time to get the right position from the horse to prepare for the downward transition from canter to walk and canter departure in the new lead. Super helpful! Thank you 🐴❤️🐴

I was just doing canter serpentines on Tuesday. Your timing with this video is spot on. ;) And one of my issues is that my horse does anticipate, and he would really like to dump on the inside shoulder, fall on the forehand, and kind of run/throw himself forward into the canter instead of picking himself up into it. (I hope that makes sense.) I'm thinking I may need to carry a whip in both hands once or twice just to be able to remind him on the serpentine to pick up that inside shoulder. Normally he falls in more on his left shoulder and is a little stiffer going left, and a little more reluctant to move his barrel off my left leg, so I leave the whip in that hand, but I bet we could improve our right lead transition, too, by getting off that shoulder more, as well (especially when he's anticipating like he does). Has anyone here found success riding with a whip in each hand? How hard is it to get used to? My only concern is that I don't want to stress my horse out by being uncoordinated because I'm not used to having a whip in each hand. TIA!

Must have read my mind 😂 Working on this currently with my young horse. She loves the walk to canter, still trying to convince her to do a nice canter to walk 😅 Would like to try a BD Elementary (UK) later this year but need to crack these simple changes first. Thanks!

I really like the clarity of your instruction. I am going back to work on my walk-canter-walks on the circle. Making sure I am moving Mirage off the inside my leg to my outside rein , half halt and canter with my seat. On the figure 8, making sure he is off my new inside leg and into my new outside rein to canter. I do loose thrust in the collected work . Maybe you can help me with the next video! I loose my cruise control with collection and then I get a wiggly horse that trips!!

As usual, extremely informative and helpful. One Q - in the canter to walk transition, you say that after getting the horse collected, use your seat to let the horse drop into the walk. Does "using your seat" mean reducing the following movement of your seat, slight tightening of thighs, neither, or more? Thanks once again for sharing your expertise.

You tighten up your core, tummy pulled back to spine and pulse it. I use a countdown method and it works. 6 5 4 3 2 1 and release. I use my core on each countdown, hold with my leg a little. And then release on the last count. Yes outside rein squeezes, in the half half, but not in an obstructive way. 😊 hope that helps? Canter walks are not easy!
