Techniques for Riding the Canter

Hi everyone! I’m Julia, and this week Rumba and I are diving into the different ways to ride the canter. Whether you’re sitting, half-seating, posting, or riding in two-point, each position has a specific purpose depending on what you and your horse need during a ride. In this video, I’ll show you: ✨ How to sit the canter with proper alignment for security and connection ✨ Why I use the half-seat to encourage more freedom of movement ✨ The benefits of posting the canter for rhythm and engagement ✨ Tips for holding the two-point to build strength and balance I’ll demonstrate each position, explain when I use it, and share tips to help you feel more confident and effective in the saddle. Riding the canter isn’t one-size-fits-all—together, we’ll explore how to make each position work for you and your horse. Let me know in the comments: Which canter technique do you use most often, and which one are you excited to try?
