Coming from a reining back round to Endurance I sit deep and go with the motion of the horse flexing(bending like a gate hinge)at the waist. Back and shoulders squared up. I found that when in sync with your horse at a canter your hip/leg will move forward with each stride of your horse alternating sides. It is a wonderful feeling when you move as one with your horse. Enjoy practicing.

Hi Nik -
When I canter, I don't really sit deep because I'm using my legs to
stay balanced and take some weight off the back, however I'm not completely
up at a 2 point stance like jumpers either. My balance isn't THAT good. =)
And that's not a stupid question. The unasked question is the stupid one.

Subject: [RC] Stupid Question :Canter
My rides in the tropic is slow thus almost 100 % done at a trot .Whenever I
canter ,which is very little I do not 'sit' on the saddle but rather
stand on stirrrup,which I know is wrong as the canter tend to be a faster
canter .For you guys who canter mostly in any rides ,how do you it ? Deep
seated ,light or standing or a mixture ?Is it still possible but have a slow
decent canter ?. Stupid Questions .
