Cantering is hard to do…

Especially when you’re learning on a pony with an excellent extended trot.
Anyone else have the joy of learning to canter on a nappy little pony beast who thinks trotting a million mph is a WAY better plan than actually cantering? Me neither actually– I learned to canter on an ex-race horse who liked to gallop off for funsies. But, I have taught many people to canter on Woody who *insists* that the aid and the use of seat be perfect before he will canter off. It’s pretty frustrating for all involved. 😉
