Your just a novice honey. believe me, your trying to making yourself sound like Mary king rather than a happy hacker at the local riding stables.
push your weight into your stirrups and squeeze with your knees!
Standing up in your stirrups at a canter is commonly referred to as "posting" or "posting the canter." This technique helps the rider to stay in sync with the horse's movement and can make the ride smoother and more comfortable for both the rider and the horse.
Well I would say novice, simply due to the fact you didn't mention canter work.
-Of course a horse can go into a canter without having to walk. However, most horses don't do it naturally unless frightened. The best way to do it is train the horse to go into a canter after a certain signal or movement by your. -Starting into a canter without a walk can be taught. It takes a lot of patience to do so.
Balance, practice, and have strong leg muscles. I ride bareback almost every day, and have only fallen off once. :) Start off riding in a saddle with no stirrups to help with balance and leg strength, make sure you can walk/trot/canter with no stirrups before you try walk/trot/canter bareback.
I'm assuming the question is "if you are riding and your foot comes out of the stirrup how can you get it back in"? Practice, practice, practice! If your stirrups are properly adjusted it is usually a simple matter of feeling for it with your toe and grabbing it when you feel it. This is actually a hard thing to explain how to do so its something that's a good idea to practice. Start at a walk and remove your foot from the stirrup. Then practice getting it back in without looking or stopping. Once you've mastered it with both feet, move onto practicing at a trot and then a canter (if you have good enough balance). Make sure the horse you ride is safe enough to ride without stirrups and its a good idea to do this in a round pen or similar contained area where the horse can't get too fast.
Canter's was created in 1924.
Once you get into a fast trot, kick the horse harder, (without hurting him/her of course) and lean forward a bet. If you kick strong enough, the house will break into a canter.
