Struggling with unbalanced, rushed, or messy canter transitions? You’re not alone. And the good news is, it doesn’t have to stay this way.

In this episode of Strides Revisited (from 2020) of the Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians, I’m sharing 3 practical steps you can implement on your very next ride to dramatically improve your canter transitions. Whether you’re riding alone in a back paddock or schooling in an arena, these simple mindset and position shifts will help you plan better, ride with more clarity, and finally allow your horse to move freely into the canter.

This is a must-listen for any rider who has ever felt like they were catapulted into canter… or worse, ended up rushing into it with no balance or connection.
