Use of the half seat is supposed to be easier on a horse's back but requires strength and balance that a beginner rider usually doesn't possess. Lack of strength and balance will lend itself to balancing with the reins in a half seat. Unless the rider has the conditioning aat the walk and trot to effect a balanced half seat before they start to canter a sitting canter is easieroon both the horse and rider.

How do you you go from walk to canter?
you cant go from walk straight into canter u go into trot then u go into sitting trot which is very bumpy then u go into canterfrom wowwikiwowOf course you can go from walk into canter. In fact, it is an easier transition as your horse has two or three feet on the ground at the same time, whereas in trot, he has a moment of suspension, therefore making it easier for him to become unbalanced.To go from walk into canter, a good trick is to halt your horse initially to balance him, then ask for one to two full walk paces. Sit deeply on your inside seat bone and place your outside leg behind the girth to get the weight onto the outside quarters and help him onto the correct leg. He should then go into canter. If he persists to trot, keep applying the canter aids but if he rushes and becomes unbalanced, bring him back to a walk and try again.To ask for a canter to walk transition, use half-halt aids.

Why won't your horse canter?
this is how you get a horse to canter: do a half halt, holding that energy in her, turn her head to the rail, or fence, and say "canter" very loudly and kick and cluck. good luck! it is really fun to canter bareback, too You probably won't need to kick most horses. A small amount of pressure from your outside leg just behind the girth will tell a well-trained horse to canter. If you are asking for the caner and the horse refuses, first make sure there is nothing causing him pain (a vet can look at his back and hocks for problems) and that the saddle fits without pinching. A horse won't canter if he's in pain. Make sure you ask for the canter from a steady, forward-moving trot and if the horse still refused to canter, follow up with a tap from a whip until he gets the idea. Be careful not to pull back on the reins, as this will just confuse the horse
If the horse riders are not all on horses should i stay there or walk or can i start to canter in the indoor riding school?
well im not really sure but im sure that your not aloud to canter because i wasnt even aloud to trot while other people were getting on so no you cant canter but you can walk unless your horse trys to nap the other horses or your riding instructor tells you not to. This has never been a issue with me... in the riding school when the other riders are getting ready... you really shouldn't canter for two reasons 1) Your horse won't be warmed up and can be hurt. 2) If your in a small school you might bumb into the other horses.... you should do some walking... maybe half the school walking and then trot for a while doing lots of 20 metre circles.... a-b and stuff like that... and work your way up to canter but never near anybody.
If you can trot and are starting to canter what type of rider are you?
Probably beginner to intermediate. Advance riders are able to pirouette, and half pass. ;) Hop that helped!

Are you an experienced novice or experienced rider - you can walk trot and without stirrups canter and you have been out on one half hour hack with about 6 other riders in a small country lane?
"you can walk trot and without stirrups canter" This would make you an experienced rider... "you have been out on one half hour hack with about 6 other riders in a small country lane" This would place you as an experienced novice...

How do you know if you have the right lead on a horse?
the bit must protrude half an inch each side of the mouth the bridal should only have two finger widths of slack and the alternator should be slack. If you have the right lead your horse's inside legs will be moving forward first when you begin a canter. To correct it you simply trott for a few strides then carry on cantering. Good luck!
