Finally got there!

Hi,

Thanks 4 all of ** help and advice on all the problems that I was having in canter. Yesterday I went to the woods with my friend and I just decided that I was going to canter and it felt great! I had been trying to canter in the menage and was doing a couple of strides but having problems keeping her going, in the woods she was alot more forward going and it felt soooo great. Tommorrow I am off to the woods again and this time we are going to canter much more! :)

So, if you are having problems with cantering (especially if you are feeling nervous) then don't give up! I was a complete nervous wreck and thought that I would never be able to do it.

Well done to you!! I was having the same problems and recently actually had my first gallop in 3 years. All due to confidence failure too! I'm sure that you have turned that corner now and will enjoy your horse.

Best wishes

Hi Gillian,
Yes, it's a great feeling - like I have a whole new start with my horse! I have been cantering around all over the place! I want to try the gallop but am still a little bit nervous about that so I will carry on building my confidence first with the canter.
