[RC] trot vs canter, lead training - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: kate kate.kearby@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Doesn't have to be a 'dressage instructor' but an excellent trainer/teacher 
perhaps in the 'working western' persuesion.  it's a matter of good training 
and horsemanship it's like going to college the investment is there for a 
lifetime.  my mare that loves to canter is stronger in the right lead 
developing and conditioning her left lead is making her a much better balanced 
horse, more comfortable all around and easier on me.


Run - don't walk to your nearest dressage instructure and invest 3 to 6 months 
of basic dressage training. I will be the best investment you will ever make 
for both you and your horse.

What is a good way to teach a horse to pick up the lead you want, or to switch 
leads for that matter? I want to teach my horse this, but I have (surprisingly, 
now that I think of it) probably never ridden a horse who could switch leads on 
command :( I am a little confused about where to begin so the horse understands 
and what signal to use.
