How do you ask for canter transition?
If the horse is still struggling to achieve a clean strike-off, try riding it out of a little leg-yield. Starting at A, spiral a big circle down to ten metres in the middle, then gradually leg yield away from the inside leg back towards the bigger circle. Once you get out to the edge, ask for the canter transition.
Which leg do you use to ask for canter?
You should just be able to see the horse’s inside eye, not the whole side of his face. Your left leg is on the girth, asking the horse to pick up the canter. Your right leg should be slightly behind the girth, asking the horse’s right hind leg to strike off into left canter.

Which leg do you use to turn a horse?
The inside leg is the direction you wish to turn. The outside leg applies pressure to turn in the opposite direction and shifts your weight in the saddle to this leg. Horses move off, or away, from pressure in a turn.
What’s the difference between half pass and leg yield?
In the leg–yield, the horse is fairly straight or bent slightly away from the direction of travel. In the half–pass, the horse is bent towards the direction of travel, which is physically much more difficult for the horse.
How can I increase my leg yield?
Think of pushing your hands down as you rise (rather than forward as in the walk and canter) and bending them again as you sit. The motion is like a hinge on a door opening and closing. Run over this list while you’re still on a straight line, and then strive to maintain all of these qualities during the leg yield.

How do you ride the shoulder-in? In a correct shoulder-in, the horse is bent around the rider’s inside leg and shows flexion to the inside, away from the direction of travel. The easiest way to teach this is often from a 10m circle coming out of the short side of the arena.
How do you ask for shoulders?
Instead of shoulder-in, ask for a shoulder-fore from the corner or circle. You’ll simply ask for less angle and less bend than in the shoulder-in. Instead of making three tracks, your horse’s footfalls will make four tracks; the inside hind foot will track between the two front feet.

How do I control my horse?
Move your left leg away from your horse’s body and apply leg pressure with your right leg. Pick up your reining hand slightly to help your horse know that you want him to move to the side and not faster. Make sure that your horse is crossing his front and back legs as he moves.
