How to ride collected canter and master your downward transitions

Getting a good canter to walk transition is all about the quality of canter you have going into it. In this video I explain the importance of riding an active and forward collected canter (sound counter-intuitive? This might be where you're going wrong!) to achieve a smooth downwards transition that stays in front of the leg. I also explain how to ride a contact that encourages 'lightness' and maintains the uphill tendency in the collection.
