2’6” to 2’9” Level – Picking up the Correct Canter Lead

17m 19s

Geoff has a discussion about how to pick up the correct canter lead and then has the riders work on it in both directions. He wants riders to collect the walk, shift the weight off the inside shoulder and maintain that through the transition to canter. It is important for the rider to take her time because if she rushes, it is easier for the horse to pick up the incorrect lead.
