How to learn canter?

[Je008nny]

I’m doing posting trot, sitting trot, two point trot very well, even instructor told me: you should canter. I said I don’t know how.
Because when I cantered, I was so much bouncing, can’t sit quietly.
I don’t know how to use both feet for signal.
So much want to learn, but don’t know how

It sounds like you're having lessons so this is something your instructor should help you with. A lot of bouncing is common to begin with, it's a very different movement to walk and trot and you have to get used to it. Try to relax rather than sitting still, that way you'll learn to go with the movement.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say you don't know how to use both feet for signal. The traditional leg aid for canter is inside leg on the girth with outside leg slightly behind, but it's worth checking with your instructor because it's the one pace where different cues seem to be taught to horses. Whatever is used don't over exaggerate it because you'll just start off tight if you do and then you'll carry that into the canter.
