You would 'half-halt' down the outside rein constantly (as though you had a sponge or something similar in your hand, squeeze and release, swueeze and release...) whist keeping your legs on to stop the horse from breaking his canter.

∙ 12y agoYou dont nessacerailly train a horse to stop going fast. Its all a matter of rudeness. You might need to consider buying a stronger bit. Or try getting your saddle fitted. You could also try having some dressage lessons, this will loosen up the horses movement and make the paces flow a bit more.

∙ 11y agoStopping a horse is the same in most every gait. You should sit deeply in the saddle, close your lower leg around the girth and give gentle but firm squeezes on the reins to let the horse to know that you wish to slow down or stop.

∙ 15y agoTo slow your horse down lean back into your seat bones and squeeze your fingers. When you lean back though make sure your legs don't go forward that will lose your balance.

How can you get rid of your nerves before im about to canter on your horse?
think of how well you are doing to be cantering. It takes allot of trust between the horse and rider to comunicate, so think of how much the horse must trust you. If your horse runs off into canter, lean back and sit deap into the saddle. use voice alot, this will carm the horse and yourself, use slow words like 'steeaaady'.. If you are nervous about cantering, your horse will get nervous, so don't do it, at least on your horse. Try finding a short, old, slow horse or pony to learn to canter on. Short so that it is less of a fall, which does alot to help with nerves. Old so that it is calm, and slow because speed is scary, so a slow canter is best when getting over fears. Get comfortable on this little horse/pony, then build up to a little bit taller, younger, faster horse. Get comfortable, and repeat until you can ride your own horse confidently.

What do you have to do to get your horse to go from a canter to a walk?
Lightly pull on the reigns to get him to slow down. But this varies from horse to horse depending on the way your horse is trained; just give him the usuall cues to slow down, until he is walking instead of cantering. Actually depending on your horses training depends on how easily he picks up the idea of canter to walk. I own two dressage horses one who knows canter to walk by working him on a ten metre circle, collecting the canter then giving the aid for walk, he is working elementary at home and the other already knew this movement before i had him as he is trained to grand prix level but it all comes from your SEAT NOT REINS!.
After a canter around a normal sized ring how long should you stop for your older horse to get air?
A long slow canter can be done by a FIT horse fairly easy for 15 min to an hour. It really depends on how fit the horse is, the air temperature, humidity, weight being carried and the soil/ footing type.
