cantering

[*lozza*]

in my lessons i get a different instructor every week but i am confused about cantering because one tells me to go with the movements and the other one tells me to push the horse forwards.which one is right?

You can do both :)

Go with the motion of your horse.

AND

Push the horse forward (if they're like really slow) with your leg.

Do both. You need to move with the horse to make sure you have a balanced seat and that your not bouncing all over the place, but you still to need to keep your leg on and make sure the horse keeps cantering while your asking him.
