This is something my trainer has drilled me on with the TROT! I hadn’t tried it at the canter though! Standing in your stirrups is so so good for your balance and leg strength 💪
@@calista1280 woah I just did that a couple of times (I do it normally but I was doing it like 3x a day since she always bucks / gets angry) and it worked, tysm!
WE DID IT! This excersize is truly a game changer ! 😁 Practiced my last two rides and had a few AHA moments. My horse loves it! My legs were so much better. This will be Incorporated into my daily riding until I am strong enough to do it well. I gotta tell you, I was very sore after the first day 😅
Oh how I love this chick. When she screeches "stop gripping with your knees, put your legs on" (about 1.46 into the video) I can't help but chuckle. One because she sounds so Aussie (and love it) and also because it sounds familiar from my pony club days. And by using 2 point to help with getting the correct position for your knee and therefore not gripping is a lightbulb moment. Thank you. 😀👏🏻
Yes! 2 point work is where it's at. So many times I have people asking me to help them learn to sit the canter better and I immediately have them up in 2 point working g on their leg strength a few have gotten irritated with me saying they were not here to learn a jumping position but quite the opposite. I have to tell them they MUST work on their leg and core strength to be able to sit better. Doesn't matter if your riding in and english saddle, western saddle, endurance saddle or bareback! If you don't work on yourself your horse pays the price unfortunately. Thanks for the video!
What exercises would you suggest to strengthen legs and core muscles to prepare for when I do finally get to start taking lessons again? My horses are too young right now to ride, but I want to be as ready as I possibly can be once I can start riding again! I used to only ever trail ride, but I want to start training for more than just bomb proofing and trail riding so I know I'm going to need to better myself first! Any help and tips are appreciated! :D
Hi Jenn, have you watched our Pilates videos? There are some exercises in there for horse riders to get stronger th-cam.com/video/BR0qkZy0sbQ/w-d-xo.html ✨
This is exactly what I needed for my students!! Such an easy way to explain 🤣 I am always that teacher yelling "Longer legs! Use the lower leg don't squeeze with the knees or thighs!" So this is what I needed to help them
I'm a disabled rider and have problems feeling my seat, and my back is rodded so I have very limited movement in my lower back bottom and core, but your tips have helped me smooth out my ride even with the lack of feeling in my legs. I have movement in my legs and can walk a bit, and need a ladder to mount my horse, but your tips have helped me ride better. Thank you.
A lot of people don't know that the gait of a horse mimics the gate of normal human walking. It not only is fun, but it is good for depression, PTSD, core strength, balance, and the rebuilding of muscles, and even helps with muscle memory. Because I do have the ability to walk a little bit which makes me extremely lucky, I should be able to use equine therapy to strengthen muscles, and regain balance. I topple over at least 2 times a month, and my last oops I fell into a display cabinet in my home ans it fell over on me and all my crystal that was on it got broken. 30 years of collecting gone from 1 fall. I am looking for a horse to lease so I can stop renting by the hour, and have more freedom on what I want to do rather it be trail riding or going to the ring to work on skills, I just hope I can afford it. Oy. Wish I had kept my horse when I moved back from Ohio, but boarding a draft horse is way expensive, and the mare we had wasn't mine, but I did also have a cute grey dapple mule who I got to break myself, that was fun.
@@wheeliemom3079all I can say about your display cabinet falling over you is that it's a good thing crystal got broken instead of bones. Having said that, it's still a huge loss. Sad 😒
Hello Alicia. I’m just a happy hacker on a cob, but I find your videos so helpful, easy to understand and even though I will never ride a dressage horse the techniques I’m learning are helping me and horse at our low level of riding. Just wanted to let you know how much your time and effort is appreciated Thank you.
This totally flipped “how to canter” on its head! Thank you Alicia for such amazing, easy to understand and implement principles and examples. My riding has changed dramatically in the last few weeks since I started putting into practice what I’m learning here. The best part? My horse is happier too!
I practiced this today and it was really helpful! I've been struggling to understand the correct way to sit the canter and feel like I keep changing to try to correct it but not knowing how. We worked up to step 3 and am keen to work on rising canter next :) Thank you!
I have been doing this without knowing how fantastic it is! My little quarter horse has an enormous canter so the only way I could ride it was in a two point position. Eventually, I started sitting and going back to two-point. I was doing the right thing and didn’t even know it! 🥳 I do not bounce in the canter because of it.
I've only watched 6 minutes of this video and you are fixing all of my problems! I was so happy when you said 'we know what we should be doing, but how do we actually get our body to DO it'? Exactly!
Never thought of using the rising canter like this😍 Can't wait to try this to see if fixes the last bit of my seat in the canter🤩 You are great at describing how you can inprove yourself through easy small steps. Thank you Alicia
Love how you explained and breaking things down into smaller and very detail steps we can easily follow ❤ thanks so much for all the videos u made that I’m going to watch ❤❤
This is such a great video and has helped me learn how to not bounce in my canter!! My instructor was so impressed she now lets me ride the advanced horses!!! So thank you sooo much!!!
Today is my 2nd class of riding, my trainer asked my try cantering:) so exciting but I felt scared after the horse move faster :) I can do trotting without rein today, but cantering is totally different, very happy find solutions in my beginning:) will try to practice soon! thank you!
Thank you for the video .. I started to canter since a year and a half and still do it wrong 😅 I lean forward and I do GRAP so strong with my leg to feel that I'm controlling the situation .. I do bounce of course .. the instructor always ask me to lean backward which FREAKS me out because I don't feel that I'm balanced .. anyway this journey will continue 😗🐎 hopefully one day I will do it right .. but I feel embarrassed telling people that I ride since 2 years and still do it wrong 😮💨🤭
We LOVE it that you're so comfortable sharing this with us! This journey is not easy but we hope we have imparted something that you can use on your next ride and we're super excited to hear about your progress! x
These tips are nust so good and fun to do and my mare cantered freely instead of the choppy canter she used to do and when I did the two point position and sit for three etc was a real eyeopener. That tuck the pelvis freed my legs and opened my hips.Thank you so much. Going to have a go at step 4.
I tried your 4-step formula yesterday and it totally worked! My coach never complained about me bouncing, but I felt like I was bouncing in the canter. So, I used your formula, pushed my legs super long into the stirrups, and tucked my hips under. The bouncing feeling stopped! Thank you!
Brilliant! I look forward to practicing this. Trying so hard to get back into riding shape after a few years off. Not as easy to do as it was when I was younger. Definitely putting this tool in my toolbox. Thank you so much ❤
This is so helpful! I have a horse that I’m working mostly on the canter, he tends to get quite strong and needs to learn to collect his canter, I have always had a problem with bouncing in the canter so this was so helpful!
Ok, so maybe I am a little late to the party but better late than never. I watched this video last night, rode today and I swear I could cry. My little mare was uber forward (put in 3 huge bucks when we tried rising canter left 😂) but that's great, she was forward, happy, soft and after doing the exercise in warm up the rest of the session was effortless. Am literally bursting here....thank you, thank you, thank you 🩵🩵🩵
Hii! I am a young rider. I have been trying my hardest, giving out all my strength on the horse to not bounce. The horse i am riding is a nervous one and speeds up with just a mere mistake of mine. He is uncomfortable to the sensations of the reins. As i have been trying my hardest, thinking about him more than myself, i always leaned forward on the horse to not bounce harshly on his back. This video has enabled me to look at all of my riding experiences from a different point. Thank you for that. I am now looking forward to learn and get inspired from you. Love you so much! Have a great day.
All my life I have always wondered what I was doing wrong with cantering as I would always bounce. I could never afford lessons when I was a child. This has made me want to get back into horse riding as a 40 year old. Thank you.
I used this in my first dressage lesson and it helped me so much and I have just started my dressage journey switching from the jumpers and I am so excited!
I'm a beginner so i appreciate the clear explanations. It helps to have more than one instructor as each person explains it a little differently. Thank you for your time!
I love these videos so much! I’ve had a long time off from riding and I’m just starting back. I feel like I’ve completely lost my seat and these videos are so helpful in breaking things down and giving clear step-by-step instructions to help bring me back. Thanks so much Alicia!
Thank you for the all of that I've never ridden on a English style saddle before tomorrow first ride with that style little bit nervous watching you help a lot wish me luck on this ride in the morning normally I ride Western style saddle but I've always been interested in sitting in English saddle and watching you helped me feel a lot more confident and thank you so much wish me luck
Horses are my passion. I have loved them ever since I was introduced to them (4months old), but it sucks because I only have enough money to go up to the Blue Mountains and ride once a year while I camp. I am so grateful that I even get that opportunity, but every time I think about it, it brings me to tears because horses are such pure, amazing, loving animals and I really want to explore that more, but that is not a possibility for me. I really love your videos by the way. Watching them makes me feel warm and close to horses
Hi Alicia! It's Regi from DMA!! Thank you for making this. I will try to get the two point canter down at my next lesson. I have heard so many things about how to do two point and I'm trying to get it right. But I like how you explain it. Thank you again 💖🐎
So I just came on here to say THANK YOUUUUUUU. So much in the equation ring i see SOOOOO much instructors saying arch your back and seeing these kids Jam their heels so far down their lower leg is out in front of them or their upper body is so far forward their lower leg is wayyyy under them from where it should be. A friend of mind asked me for advice I said well do some leg relaxing techniques at the walk drop your stirrups and take your knees away from the saddle do bicycle legs rotate your legs your ankles both directions feel but of your seat bones when you pick your stirrups back up check in with yourself ask yourself am i relaxed is my thigh relaxed is my knee pinching can i feel my seat bones evenly And she sent me a video in her lesson and her instructor is yelling at her sayinf she has a hunched back to pull her shoulders back and arch her back and im like noooooooooooo dont do that your gonna turn into one of those weebles wabble but fall down itll throw you off balance. Instead of saying bring your shoulders back and arch your back say lift your chest up relax your shoulders and push your belly button into your spine and the best way to learn this is at the trot and have your instruct place their hand on your back to feel you basically lift with your core. I feel like this is a lost method in a lot of disaplines its not taught as commonly over in the states at all. And i rode with a rider who worked for mark Phillips so i was lucky enough to get several months of hands on experience from some of the best equestrians ive idolized since i was a kid and it workksssss i was such a tense rider and still can be but as long as i think relax I follow so much easily. I just shared this video with her to show her im not the only one who teaches this with i wish she wasnt 2 hours away because i wanna help her but her trainers methods are sooooo different.
What a lovely and excellent video as if I am feeling I am in your training school. Superb amazing wonderful fascinating interesting beautiful and unbelievable video. It is helpful for beginners and horse riding lovers. So beautiful your commentry also deserves five star.
I am terrified to canter. After 7 years I still struggle with this canter movement. I am going to try it and let you know how it goes. You have been super helpful with all your advice so far, I have no doubts this will be the perfect thing to work on.
Thank you thank you thank you! Can’t wait to try this weekend 🙌 As a para equestrian my legs are obviously a bit weaker so I use elastics to keep my feet in the stirrups. Lately I’ve been noticing when I’m cantering I’ve become lazy and have started lifting my feet up as if I’m riding stirrupless.. I think I do this because I can’t lose my stirrups so it just feels natural. I feel like the 2 point is really going to help me get my legs long and in the stirrups again!!
ok wow this is something i never realized! Usually I ride 5 gaited horses that i more or less canter exclusively in a 2 point position with maybe a few strides seated if they are really stable in the 3-beat. I got back on a 3 gaited horse some days ago after quite a long while and my seat was so much better in canter! Good to know how I managed to achieve that as I was pretty baffled. I expected to be really bad at sitting trot and canter as I hadn‘t done it in a while… Love all the insight you give into biomechanics and focused exercises for certain parts of riding!
OMG - That makes sooo much sense! Amazing video instruction on canter work. In steps 3 and 4 I have 3 questions: 1. How do you prevent the lazy horse or the one that ‘struggles a bit’ from falling back into trot when in 2-point - whip? Spur? Body? 2. How do you prevent same horse from falling back into trot when you sit back down in the saddle? 3. At about the 15:00 minute mark you mentioned that you have a good connection with Gee (you look amazing by the way!!) How ARE you connected - with reins? Legs? Body? Or all of the above? Thank you so very much for this video Alicia - I always wondered how you increase the canter energy from working/medium to collected if you are already driving with your seat in the working paces.
Hey Mimi! AMAZING questions, go you! Okay so overall while reading your questions I get the sense that your horse may not be travelling on its own in the canter, so first step is to work on that, when you ask the horse to canter try to either go direct to 2 point or sit still and don't drive the horse with your seat or hold your leg on, then the horse will either keep travelling, or drop back. When the horse drops back immediately send the horse forward and use a quick aid that sends the horse more forward than what you need, then go back to being passive with your forward aid. Repeat if the horse drops again. The goal is to teach the horse to travel without your help! It takes self discipline from you as the rider to not nag and training with the horse. When in 2 point you can use your leg like usual (light aid then quicker follow up if no response). When Alicia mentions good connection she is talking about connected into the bridle, think of the training scale! Let me know if this helps 🤩
This is a brilliant breakdown of exercises. Can I ask - would this work in the trot as well to help keep lower leg stiller? I do a lot of light seat work for jumping and don’t have a bounce in canter, but I find in rising trot I struggle to keep my lower legs very still. If there was the chance to do a similar video around the trot that could be amazing!!! 🙃
Hi Sophie! Yes absolutely! Watch in the video how Alicia shows you to stand up and sit down in the walk, do this while trotting, then try staying up for 4 beats or 6 and then control your "down" so you tuck bum on down phase. Can also do up for 2 and down for 2. Try this and let me know how you go x
We are in lockdown and so pretty much restricted to riding at home. Fortunately I have an arena and so always looking at ways to make it interesting for me & my horse. Gave the rising canter a go today and wow it was so relaxing cantering around in that position. Better than 2 point as I found my horse was not thinking it was time to go! Thanks so much.
Amazing! I wish I could go riding with you. I’ve watched so many videos that miss really important stuff. You don’t miss a thing. This video has got me passionate about horse riding again, after a break of 4 years. ❤❤
I’ve defo found myself oscillating between the ‘superman’ position and a foot forward during a canter. Good to know how to correct that and it isn’t that you shouldn’t give up riding. The idea of practicing balance and standing up during a walk or trot is brilliant. I can’t wait to saddle up again. Many thanks 🙏 ❤🎉y
Again, the comment that some horses will revert to a trot if you’re out of the seat during a canter is spot on. That happened to me so many times with different horses. It’s just great to know that I wasn’t a complete disaster 😊
I use your videos as background noise alot or to show my mom to help her riding(not that I never use these to improve myself!) and today Im making a list of muscle builder brands, biotin brands, and coolers for my horse. Im doing this to see price differences, shipping times, and effectiveness across the board! My gelding and I have improved together so much with alot of help from you and Natasha! We can't thank you enough, really, I would hug you both if I wasn't across the planet from you
IT REALY WORKED!!😍 I have been trying this several times now and suddenly today I wasn’t bouncing as much as before!! (Still a little but better) I LOVE the way you explain all the small details Alicia❤️
I can’t wait to try this out on my OTTB! She’s struggling with the canter and doesn’t like it when I attempt to really sit the canter. The rising canter might just be the answer to our troubles! Looking forward to our ride tomorrow 😊💪🐴 Thank you Alicia!!
I am someone who is better at jumping than dressage and i want to change that in order to be able to give horses i ride (and me)maximum comfort as possible After searching for advice on internet,youtube and google i found your channel the most understandable and helpful, these tips can help every rider no matter the horse they ride or discipline they are usually doing. This channel very easy gained a new subscriber and fan! Do you have any other programs or sites other than this TH-cam ?
Hi Alicia!! It's Regi. I literally just started cantering!!! I am so excited to tell you. I am learning on Candy, the grey mare. She has a rocking horse motion. I am on the lunge line just figuring out how to sit it properly. It feels amazing when i get it right. I am so excited to try the progression in this video. Thank you for this. I miss you❤
@@YourRidingSuccess I miss you all so much. For some reason, messenger doesn't work anymore when I try to reach you there. Hopefully it will work again soon. 💖
That was amazing!! As a someone who rode jumpers my whole like then switched to dressage, I always applied standing in my stirrups in both disciplines, especially at the beginning of the ride to stretch all the leg muscles and put all my weight down in my heels and make my leg longer. It's brilliant and very logical! But I've NEVER heard a dressage trainer...EVER tell someone to do this but I think it's a super effective way to build up a full long legged contact correctly. One thing I thought you may say is remove the stirrups and even go on the lunge to really work on the seat seat seat SEAT and leg. I know they leg can creep on their own but that's why the trainer is there!! To SCREAM! LOL I did A LOT of no stirrup work when I first got my FEI boy because he had HUGE gaits and I found this helped me so much, especially at the Canter, as I was transitioning to a deeper seat from a more forward, a bit a head of the vertical or even 2 point at times in the jumper ring. And posting with no stirrups or even 2 point is not only muscle building but character building because at the beginning you want to cry the whole time!!! lol AMAZING VIDEO!!! You're awesome and your horse is stunning!!
I'm a beginner well I can get into a trot n canter but always bouncing on the seat I haven't got much balance when standing but your videos are so helping n you give step by step instructions I can't wait to start riding again thank you
Hello, and I’m so happy that I found your content. I have just started learning to ride, I’ve had about five lessons so far and I’m loving it. The main challenge I have is the rising trot and canter. We are doing cantering tomorrow on the beach and I will watch this video again before I leave for my lesson and incorporate the techniques that you are teaching. Thank you so much.
I.NEED.THIS my horse is really hard in canter and the seat is often really hard to sit on so i bounce around a lot 😅 thank you so much for these awesome videos! My favourite video was definitely the how not to bounce in sitting trot as I want to start doing more complicated trot work in sitting trot!
Okay. I tried this on myself and on my students. AND IT WORKS!!!! I can feel it they can feel it I cab see the difference and they as well. I was recording one of my students today to share it with you guys but my phone died :/. But it really really works ❤️
Tried this tonight having been po-going about on a very bouncy boy. Such a difference ! Really helpful with engaging my pelvis and feeling the movement. Thanks so much xx
Thank you so much Alicia, I am a beginner rider but have started to learn leg yield etc. I really am struggling with canter that it is stopping me progressing to prelim. I am so frustrated and becoming disheartened. Your videos (and Natasha's) give me such inspiration. You are so clear in your explanations. Especially to me as an adult beginner and person with some physical disabilities (leg weakness from neuro condition). This has really helped me keep going. How do I softly suggest to try these exercises to my teacher? She's wondful but I don't want to offend her. I am so desperate to fix this! ♡
Thank you so much for tuning in! So glad you are enjoying the videos! Most coaches are happy to work on issues that you are stuggling with. Try talking to her in more of a discussion type way about how you really want to improve your canter and say you've done some research and see what she suggests x
Amazing video, can't wait to try this on my Frisian girl. You teach me so much and take away my insecurities. Thank you so much, keep it going on like this!!
👋 Hi There, Karen from Canada🐴 the clothes peg is exactly what happens Lolol I love the way you simplify and explain things. Hopefully, I will be back riding, then, I will review all this information from past videos, and try it all out on my horse. I can't wait. 🙂 Thank you Alicia for all your advice!!!!
Riding the corner with the outside hand acting as wall exercise went well on Wednesday. Trying to use horizontal rein pressure as much as I could also reduced horse’s resistance to defy. I’m very excited about the new found knowledge from you! Thanks! Can’t wait to try the 2 point seat and rising canter exercises next week during my lesson! My instructor always tells me to sit, not bounce even though I don’t feel that I’m bouncing. What blows my mind here is to learn when not to use my seat to drive the horse! I thought I had to use my seat during a canter and perhaps that’s why I feel that the horse is fighting me when I do that. I hope that this new exercise will motivate the “lazy” horse at the stable. I hate to kick.
Hi Jaylynn!! Thanks so much for reaching out! Ideally your horse will be listening to your seat so if you are rising in the trot the horse will follow your rhythm. Are you finding your horse is speeding up and trying to break into canter?
Hi YourRidingSuccess thank you so much for responding back!!!, and Yes every time I trot I can feel my horse speeding up resulting into a canter…also when my horse starts to canter I tend to lean forward instead of leaning back resulting in me falling off, so how do I lean back?? because I try to but I just feel stuck like I can’t lean back when I try, I’m guessing because I get tense and don’t know what to do!
Hi Jaylynn! Instead of thinking about leaning back, you want to think about ensuring your pelvis is in the correct position as that will prevent you from leaning forward. It sounds like you are tensing with your legs as well which could be why your horse is continuing to speed up and break into canter. Try out some of the tips in the video, but also watch this one on position - th-cam.com/video/qL8swhRKY5s/w-d-xo.html
thank you! 😩 I was struggling to keep balance in canter and this changed everything 🤯 those exercises are great too, so far I can keep standing only while walking tho 😆
@@YourRidingSuccess IT WENT GREAT!!❤️❤️❤️ still lots to learn but for sure going to keep training on this❤️❤️ thank you so so so so much ❤️ even tho i have been riding for 12 years i still bounce in the canter and my legs go out and back alot because im pretty short (1'50/4'11) but i was definitly bouncing way way less, we got to the 2 point in the canter today and after we did a bit of normal canter and i for sure felt it, even my horse did better, in the begining he was a bit confused and did try to come back to trot a few times but he was an absoluut sweetheart today❤️
thank you very much, I'm struggling with canter, and I'm still worried, but after watching this video I hope my worries will lessen, and I can enjoy canter without bouncing.... greetings from Indonesia👋🇮🇩🏇
I love your different voices. Lol 😆. I have been practicing the 3 point at the walk and trot or stand up in the saddle. I also bought a Neck strap or "Monkey Strap" and it's on my saddle. I am still working on the Posting Canter, haven't yet. I thank you 😊 for your expertise.
This is something my trainer has drilled me on with the TROT! I hadn’t tried it at the canter though! Standing in your stirrups is so so good for your balance and leg strength 💪
Fantastic!

Yes! 2 point work is where it's at. So many times I have people asking me to help them learn to sit the canter better and I immediately have them up in 2 point working g on their leg strength a few have gotten irritated with me saying they were not here to learn a jumping position but quite the opposite.

This is such a great video and has helped me learn how to not bounce in my canter!! My instructor was so impressed she now lets me ride the advanced horses!!! So thank you sooo much!!!
YAY!! Love it!! We can't wait to hear more about your progress! Go YOU!! x
Today is my 2nd class of riding, my trainer asked my try cantering:) so exciting but I felt scared after the horse move faster :) I can do trotting without rein today, but cantering is totally different, very happy find solutions in my beginning:) will try to practice soon! thank you!
Can't wait to hear how it goes for you when you try this technique on your next ride!! x
You are absolutely delightful and easy to understand. Thankyou for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you for the video .. I started to canter since a year and a half and still do it wrong 😅 I lean forward and I do GRAP so strong with my leg to feel that I'm controlling the situation .. I do bounce of course .. the instructor always ask me to lean backward which FREAKS me out because I don't feel that I'm balanced .. anyway this journey will continue 😗🐎 hopefully one day I will do it right .. but I feel embarrassed telling people that I ride since 2 years and still do it wrong 😮💨🤭
We LOVE it that you're so comfortable sharing this with us! This journey is not easy but we hope we have imparted something that you can use on your next ride and we're super excited to hear about your progress! x
These tips are nust so good and fun to do and my mare cantered freely instead of the choppy canter she used to do and when I did the two point position and sit for three etc was a real eyeopener. That tuck the pelvis freed my legs and opened my hips.Thank you so much. Going to have a go at step 4.
This was such an 'Aha!' moment for me! I'm so excited to try this out with my pony! I love it! Thank you so, so much!
Nice!! Love this xx
I tried your 4-step formula yesterday and it totally worked! My coach never complained about me bouncing, but I felt like I was bouncing in the canter. So, I used your formula, pushed my legs super long into the stirrups, and tucked my hips under. The bouncing feeling stopped! Thank you!
Wow! Awesome!
Brilliant! I look forward to practicing this. Trying so hard to get back into riding shape after a few years off. Not as easy to do as it was when I was younger. Definitely putting this tool in my toolbox. Thank you so much ❤
You can do it!
This is so helpful! I have a horse that I’m working mostly on the canter, he tends to get quite strong and needs to learn to collect his canter, I have always had a problem with bouncing in the canter so this was so helpful!
Yay!! Glad you liked it xx
Me too!! Xx
Yay!
Every time you depart to the canter to demonstrate your sit, I am struck with the beauty of the transitions!
This vid helped me a lot. I finally able to canter, not good, not perfect, but I did it. Thank you so much 💝
YAY!! So happy to hear this x
I love how I just keep watching these videos even though I can sit the canter. I only watch these to fix my equitation and get a deeper seat lil
LOVE that you are still checking out our old videos and that they're still super helpful for you. Thanks so much for watching x
Love the rising canter. So weird! 🐎🐎🐎 Looking forward to trying these techniques
Glad you like them!
Ok, so maybe I am a little late to the party but better late than never. I watched this video last night, rode today and I swear I could cry. My little mare was uber forward (put in 3 huge bucks when we tried rising canter left 😂) but that's great, she was forward, happy, soft and after doing the exercise in warm up the rest of the session was effortless. Am literally bursting here....thank you, thank you, thank you 🩵🩵🩵
You got this! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!! Well done!
My favorite video is this video regarding tge Posting Canter.
Good one!
Hii! I am a young rider. I have been trying my hardest, giving out all my strength on the horse to not bounce. The horse i am riding is a nervous one and speeds up with just a mere mistake of mine. He is uncomfortable to the sensations of the reins. As i have been trying my hardest, thinking about him more than myself, i always leaned forward on the horse to not bounce harshly on his back. This video has enabled me to look at all of my riding experiences from a different point. Thank you for that. I am now looking forward to learn and get inspired from you. Love you so much! Have a great day.
All my life I have always wondered what I was doing wrong with cantering as I would always bounce. I could never afford lessons when I was a child. This has made me want to get back into horse riding as a 40 year old. Thank you.
Love it, LJ!!
I used this in my first dressage lesson and it helped me so much and I have just started my dressage journey switching from the jumpers and I am so excited!
Wonderful! Soo glad it helped!
I had a lesson today and we were working on sitting in the saddle and shoulders, it hurts but was gold
This is great!! ❤️
I'm a beginner so i appreciate the clear explanations. It helps to have more than one instructor as each person explains it a little differently. Thank you for your time!
You are so welcome! We love helping people xx
Wow... I'm a self taught casual rider and this was a wonderful tip. I can easily sit the canter but see now there is another way to do it.
This is lovely - thank you xx
I love these videos so much! I’ve had a long time off from riding and I’m just starting back. I feel like I’ve completely lost my seat and these videos are so helpful in breaking things down and giving clear step-by-step instructions to help bring me back. Thanks so much Alicia!
You're welcome! :)
Thank you for the all of that I've never ridden on a English style saddle before tomorrow first ride with that style little bit nervous watching you help a lot wish me luck on this ride in the morning normally I ride Western style saddle but I've always been interested in sitting in English saddle and watching you helped me feel a lot more confident and thank you so much wish me luck
Thanks so much for watching the videos here xx
Horses are my passion. I have loved them ever since I was introduced to them (4months old), but it sucks because I only have enough money to go up to the Blue Mountains and ride once a year while I camp. I am so grateful that I even get that opportunity, but every time I think about it, it brings me to tears because horses are such pure, amazing, loving animals and I really want to explore that more, but that is not a possibility for me.
I really love your videos by the way. Watching them makes me feel warm and close to horses
This is so great to hear! Thank you!
Hi Alicia! It's Regi from DMA!! Thank you for making this. I will try to get the two point canter down at my next lesson. I have heard so many things about how to do two point and I'm trying to get it right. But I like how you explain it. Thank you again 💖🐎
Great job! Thanks Regi!
So I just came on here to say THANK YOUUUUUUU. So much in the equation ring i see SOOOOO much instructors saying arch your back and seeing these kids Jam their heels so far down their lower leg is out in front of them or their upper body is so far forward their lower leg is wayyyy under them from where it should be.
A friend of mind asked me for advice I said well do some leg relaxing techniques at the walk drop your stirrups and take your knees away from the saddle do bicycle legs rotate your legs your ankles both directions feel but of your seat bones when you pick your stirrups back up check in with yourself ask yourself am i relaxed is my thigh relaxed is my knee pinching can i feel my seat bones evenly
And she sent me a video in her lesson and her instructor is yelling at her sayinf she has a hunched back to pull her shoulders back and arch her back and im like noooooooooooo dont do that your gonna turn into one of those weebles wabble but fall down itll throw you off balance. Instead of saying bring your shoulders back and arch your back say lift your chest up relax your shoulders and push your belly button into your spine and the best way to learn this is at the trot and have your instruct place their hand on your back to feel you basically lift with your core. I feel like this is a lost method in a lot of disaplines its not taught as commonly over in the states at all. And i rode with a rider who worked for mark Phillips so i was lucky enough to get several months of hands on experience from some of the best equestrians ive idolized since i was a kid and it workksssss i was such a tense rider and still can be but as long as i think relax I follow so much easily.
I just shared this video with her to show her im not the only one who teaches this with i wish she wasnt 2 hours away because i wanna help her but her trainers methods are sooooo different.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are welcome and we want you to know we are so grateful for your support.
What a lovely and excellent video as if I am feeling I am in your training school. Superb amazing wonderful fascinating interesting beautiful and unbelievable video. It is helpful for beginners and horse riding lovers. So beautiful your commentry also deserves five star.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I am terrified to canter. After 7 years I still struggle with this canter movement. I am going to try it and let you know how it goes. You have been super helpful with all your advice so far, I have no doubts this will be the perfect thing to work on.
You should try it!! Can't wait to hear how it goes for you xx
Thank you thank you thank you! Can’t wait to try this weekend 🙌
As a para equestrian my legs are obviously a bit weaker so I use elastics to keep my feet in the stirrups. Lately I’ve been noticing when I’m cantering I’ve become lazy and have started lifting my feet up as if I’m riding stirrupless.. I think I do this because I can’t lose my stirrups so it just feels natural.
I feel like the 2 point is really going to help me get my legs long and in the stirrups again!!
You're welcome!! Can't wait for you to try this out!!
ok wow this is something i never realized! Usually I ride 5 gaited horses that i more or less canter exclusively in a 2 point position with maybe a few strides seated if they are really stable in the 3-beat. I got back on a 3 gaited horse some days ago after quite a long while and my seat was so much better in canter! Good to know how I managed to achieve that as I was pretty baffled. I expected to be really bad at sitting trot and canter as I hadn‘t done it in a while… Love all the insight you give into biomechanics and focused exercises for certain parts of riding!
Wow - soo amazing to know this went well for you!! Can't wait to hear more about your progress!!
I keep saying the same thing over and over in the comments but it’s true: these videos are phenomenal!
Woohoo!
OMG - That makes sooo much sense! Amazing video instruction on canter work. In steps 3 and 4 I have 3 questions: 1. How do you prevent the lazy horse or the one that ‘struggles a bit’ from falling back into trot when in 2-point - whip? Spur? Body? 2. How do you prevent same horse from falling back into trot when you sit back down in the saddle? 3. At about the 15:00 minute mark you mentioned that you have a good connection with Gee (you look amazing by the way!!) How ARE you connected - with reins? Legs? Body? Or all of the above? Thank you so very much for this video Alicia - I always wondered how you increase the canter energy from working/medium to collected if you are already driving with your seat in the working paces.
Hey Mimi! AMAZING questions, go you! Okay so overall while reading your questions I get the sense that your horse may not be travelling on its own in the canter, so first step is to work on that, when you ask the horse to canter try to either go direct to 2 point or sit still and don't drive the horse with your seat or hold your leg on, then the horse will either keep travelling, or drop back. When the horse drops back immediately send the horse forward and use a quick aid that sends the horse more forward than what you need, then go back to being passive with your forward aid. Repeat if the horse drops again. The goal is to teach the horse to travel without your help! It takes self discipline from you as the rider to not nag and training with the horse. When in 2 point you can use your leg like usual (light aid then quicker follow up if no response).
When Alicia mentions good connection she is talking about connected into the bridle, think of the training scale! Let me know if this helps 🤩
This is a brilliant breakdown of exercises. Can I ask - would this work in the trot as well to help keep lower leg stiller? I do a lot of light seat work for jumping and don’t have a bounce in canter, but I find in rising trot I struggle to keep my lower legs very still. If there was the chance to do a similar video around the trot that could be amazing!!! 🙃
Hi Sophie! Yes absolutely! Watch in the video how Alicia shows you to stand up and sit down in the walk, do this while trotting, then try staying up for 4 beats or 6 and then control your "down" so you tuck bum on down phase. Can also do up for 2 and down for 2. Try this and let me know how you go x
This is so helpful since I am a young rider and I get a little nervous when I pick up the canter
Thanks for this video it will help me❤️
We're so excited to see how it goes for you, Zadie!
We are in lockdown and so pretty much restricted to riding at home. Fortunately I have an arena and so always looking at ways to make it interesting for me & my horse. Gave the rising canter a go today and wow it was so relaxing cantering around in that position. Better than 2 point as I found my horse was not thinking it was time to go! Thanks so much.
Super!! Glad it went well for you xx
LIGHT BULB MOMENT! Thanks again Alicia.
Thank you :)
Amazing! I wish I could go riding with you.
I’ve watched so many videos that miss really important stuff. You don’t miss a thing. This video has got me passionate about horse riding again, after a break of 4 years. ❤❤
I’ve defo found myself oscillating between the ‘superman’ position and a foot forward during a canter. Good to know how to correct that and it isn’t that you shouldn’t give up riding.
The idea of practicing balance and standing up during a walk or trot is brilliant.
I can’t wait to saddle up again. Many thanks 🙏 ❤🎉y
Again, the comment that some horses will revert to a trot if you’re out of the seat during a canter is spot on. That happened to me so many times with different horses. It’s just great to know that I wasn’t a complete disaster 😊
Thank you so much for the feedback! So glad you enjoyed the video so much :]
Thank you it works so well because before hand I used to bounce everywhere
Perfect! Glad this technique worked for you so well x
I use your videos as background noise alot or to show my mom to help her riding(not that I never use these to improve myself!) and today Im making a list of muscle builder brands, biotin brands, and coolers for my horse. Im doing this to see price differences, shipping times, and effectiveness across the board! My gelding and I have improved together so much with alot of help from you and Natasha! We can't thank you enough, really, I would hug you both if I wasn't across the planet from you
Wow! This is lovely! Thanks for sharing!
IT REALY WORKED!!😍 I have been trying this several times now and suddenly today I wasn’t bouncing as much as before!! (Still a little but better)
I LOVE the way you explain all the small details Alicia❤️
Wow!!! Super job!!! x
I can’t wait to try this out on my OTTB! She’s struggling with the canter and doesn’t like it when I attempt to really sit the canter. The rising canter might just be the answer to our troubles! Looking forward to our ride tomorrow 😊💪🐴 Thank you Alicia!!
Super! Tell us how you go x
Superb amazing wonderful fascinating interesting beautiful and unbelievable video. Thank you Alicia for your valuable and beautiful video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am someone who is better at jumping than dressage and i want to change that in order to be able to give horses i ride (and me)maximum comfort as possible After searching for advice on internet,youtube and google i found your channel the most understandable and helpful, these tips can help every rider no matter the horse they ride or discipline they are usually doing. This channel very easy gained a new subscriber and fan!
Do you have any other programs or sites other than this TH-cam ?
Love this! You can follow us on socials also, Your Riding Success x
Hi Alicia!! It's Regi. I literally just started cantering!!! I am so excited to tell you. I am learning on Candy, the grey mare. She has a rocking horse motion. I am on the lunge line just figuring out how to sit it properly. It feels amazing when i get it right. I am so excited to try the progression in this video. Thank you for this. I miss you❤
You are doing really great Regi! Thank you for keeping us in the loop of your progress!!
@@YourRidingSuccess I miss you all so much. For some reason, messenger doesn't work anymore when I try to reach you there. Hopefully it will work again soon. 💖
Love the rising canter I think it will be perfect for my young horse
Thank you! ❤️
That was amazing!! As a someone who rode jumpers my whole like then switched to dressage, I always applied standing in my stirrups in both disciplines, especially at the beginning of the ride to stretch all the leg muscles and put all my weight down in my heels and make my leg longer. It's brilliant and very logical! But I've NEVER heard a dressage trainer...EVER tell someone to do this but I think it's a super effective way to build up a full long legged contact correctly. One thing I thought you may say is remove the stirrups and even go on the lunge to really work on the seat seat seat SEAT and leg. I know they leg can creep on their own but that's why the trainer is there!! To SCREAM! LOL I did A LOT of no stirrup work when I first got my FEI boy because he had HUGE gaits and I found this helped me so much, especially at the Canter, as I was transitioning to a deeper seat from a more forward, a bit a head of the vertical or even 2 point at times in the jumper ring. And posting with no stirrups or even 2 point is not only muscle building but character building because at the beginning you want to cry the whole time!!! lol
AMAZING VIDEO!!! You're awesome and your horse is stunning!!
So glad you love the videos so much!!! And thank you for your lovely comment x
I'm a beginner well I can get into a trot n canter but always bouncing on the seat I haven't got much balance when standing but your videos are so helping n you give step by step instructions I can't wait to start riding again thank you
Hi Sammy! Thanks so much for sharing! So glad the videos are helping you!
I'll have to think of this next time I have canter on a lesson, thanks for the tips! Glad to see you praise the horse during the video, by the way =)
Thank you! So glad you are loving the videos x
First time I’m hearing about rise the canter! Yay! How fun to try all this and help my horse with his canter!
Have fun! Tell us how you go xx
Must try the 2 point canter on my next ride. Thank you
Give it a go and let us know how you go x
Hello, and I’m so happy that I found your content. I have just started learning to ride, I’ve had about five lessons so far and I’m loving it. The main challenge I have is the rising trot and canter. We are doing cantering tomorrow on the beach and I will watch this video again before I leave for my lesson and incorporate the techniques that you are teaching. Thank you so much.
You got this! I hope this technique works for you! Tell us about it! x
I will
OMG, this is game-changing!
💯
I.NEED.THIS my horse is really hard in canter and the seat is often really hard to sit on so i bounce around a lot 😅 thank you so much for these awesome videos! My favourite video was definitely the how not to bounce in sitting trot as I want to start doing more complicated trot work in sitting trot!
So glad you loved it!!!!
So. So. Good. Thank you for always giving us the breakdown and such practical solutions!!!
Happy to help!
This is excellent teaching. I am a riding instructor. I will be saving these videos!! Well done. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Wow I tried these yesterday...not all of course but man did it help!!
Wow!! Glad it helped!
Okay. I tried this on myself and on my students. AND IT WORKS!!!! I can feel it they can feel it I cab see the difference and they as well. I was recording one of my students today to share it with you guys but my phone died :/. But it really really works ❤️
Amazing work! :)
No stirrup work has helped me the most. Great video and ty for sharing ❤️
You're welcome! x
Tried this tonight having been po-going about on a very bouncy boy. Such a difference ! Really helpful with engaging my pelvis and feeling the movement. Thanks so much xx
Wow!! This is amazing!! x
your horse is so good, my pony would ask all the time so I wont be able to fcuse on my seat. thanks for explaining helps a lot!
Happy to help!
Have seen rising canter used by a show jumper.
Planning to use a jumping saddle and a light seat on my behemoth while working on his back strength.
Good luck!!
Excited to try these exercises on my next ride. Thanks for that.
Have fun!
I can’t wait to incorporate those beginning drills at my next lesson! Thank you so much!
You're so welcome! Have fun!
So incredibly helpful...thanks a million
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much Alicia, I am a beginner rider but have started to learn leg yield etc. I really am struggling with canter that it is stopping me progressing to prelim. I am so frustrated and becoming disheartened. Your videos (and Natasha's) give me such inspiration. You are so clear in your explanations. Especially to me as an adult beginner and person with some physical disabilities (leg weakness from neuro condition). This has really helped me keep going.
How do I softly suggest to try these exercises to my teacher? She's wondful but I don't want to offend her. I am so desperate to fix this! ♡
Thank you so much for tuning in! So glad you are enjoying the videos! Most coaches are happy to work on issues that you are stuggling with. Try talking to her in more of a discussion type way about how you really want to improve your canter and say you've done some research and see what she suggests x
Holy crap! 😮I cannot wait to try this!
Yay!! Let us know how you go!
Loving your style,so helpful for me,answering all my questions ,I've ever had..So helpful..great teaching Babe
Yay!! So glad this helped a lot! x
Amazing video, can't wait to try this on my Frisian girl. You teach me so much and take away my insecurities. Thank you so much, keep it going on like this!!
Love this!! Tell us how you go 😘
This is a great exercise!!!!!!!!!!! So great for everyone not just for dressage riders.
Absolutely!!
Inspiring! Thanks for breaking it down to smaller steps to build with!! Excited to try.
Yes!! So exciting!!
Yeah!! It is really helpful for me, thank you!!!
You're welcome!
👋 Hi There, Karen from Canada🐴 the clothes peg is exactly what happens Lolol I love the way you simplify and explain things. Hopefully, I will be back riding, then, I will review all this information from past videos, and try it all out on my horse. I can't wait. 🙂 Thank you Alicia for all your advice!!!!
Super!! Tell us how you go once you get to ride again xx
I will try this to get my seat better. Stop that wee bounce of mine thanks you. Next for me how no to bounce in sitiing working trot
Go for it!
Riding the corner with the outside hand acting as wall exercise went well on Wednesday. Trying to use horizontal rein pressure as much as I could also reduced horse’s resistance to defy. I’m very excited about the new found knowledge from you! Thanks! Can’t wait to try the 2 point seat and rising canter exercises next week during my lesson! My instructor always tells me to sit, not bounce even though I don’t feel that I’m bouncing. What blows my mind here is to learn when not to use my seat to drive the horse! I thought I had to use my seat during a canter and perhaps that’s why I feel that the horse is fighting me when I do that. I hope that this new exercise will motivate the “lazy” horse at the stable. I hate to kick.
Yayyyyyy absolutely love reading comments like this! Tell me how you go with the rising canter after your new found light bulbs! ✨
Loved trying these this week. Hardest was rising canter but will work on it over time!
Tell us how you go!
I’m a beginner rider, so how do I keep a trot? and How do I stop my horse from trotting into a canter!? Can you make a video on it!
Hi Jaylynn!! Thanks so much for reaching out! Ideally your horse will be listening to your seat so if you are rising in the trot the horse will follow your rhythm. Are you finding your horse is speeding up and trying to break into canter?
Hi YourRidingSuccess thank you so much for responding back!!!, and Yes every time I trot I can feel my horse speeding up resulting into a canter…also when my horse starts to canter I tend to lean forward instead of leaning back resulting in me falling off, so how do I lean back?? because I try to but I just feel stuck like I can’t lean back when I try, I’m guessing because I get tense and don’t know what to do!
Hi Jaylynn! Instead of thinking about leaning back, you want to think about ensuring your pelvis is in the correct position as that will prevent you from leaning forward. It sounds like you are tensing with your legs as well which could be why your horse is continuing to speed up and break into canter. Try out some of the tips in the video, but also watch this one on position - th-cam.com/video/qL8swhRKY5s/w-d-xo.html
thank you! 😩 I was struggling to keep balance in canter and this changed everything 🤯 those exercises are great too, so far I can keep standing only while walking tho 😆
Im having a lesson tomorrow, im sooooooo going to try this❤️ thank you so so much❤️
yay!! let us know how you go!
@@YourRidingSuccess IT WENT GREAT!!❤️❤️❤️ still lots to learn but for sure going to keep training on this❤️❤️ thank you so so so so much ❤️ even tho i have been riding for 12 years i still bounce in the canter and my legs go out and back alot because im pretty short (1'50/4'11) but i was definitly bouncing way way less, we got to the 2 point in the canter today and after we did a bit of normal canter and i for sure felt it, even my horse did better, in the begining he was a bit confused and did try to come back to trot a few times but he was an absoluut sweetheart today❤️
Super!! Thanks for the update! Soo glad it went well for you xx
I can hardly wait to try this. Thanks!
Go for it!!
I love this!!!!!! I don’t bounce but I want to do all of this and now my daughter will be doing this as well. Thank you 💜
So glad you found the video so helpful!! Would love to hear how you and your daughter go trying out the tips!
You have such a lovely voice and way of speaking 😍
Thank you!!
So good! Thanks! 😊
Thank you too!
Great again. I have done the rising canter. I quite enjoy it. It takes a bit of practice but makes your legs work.
💯
thank you very much, I'm struggling with canter, and I'm still worried, but after watching this video I hope my worries will lessen, and I can enjoy canter without bouncing.... greetings from Indonesia👋🇮🇩🏇
You're welcome xx
I love your different voices. Lol 😆. I have been practicing the 3 point at the walk and trot or stand up in the saddle. I also bought a Neck strap or "Monkey Strap" and it's on my saddle. I am still working on the Posting Canter, haven't yet. I thank you 😊 for your expertise.
Great job!
Amazing! I love your style of teaching, a lesson with you is my absolute dream! 🤩
Wow, thank you!
I love this! I found u on harlows channel love the horse your using they are so well behaved and look stunning! ❤
Thanks so much!! :)
