About this video

Following on from working with 5 year old Teddy on balance in the trot (in another video), Laura progresses to canter and predicts 'it could be entertaining'! Starting with half halts within the canter, the aim is to collect but maintain a forward stride and be able to let go with the hand. Laura uses a clever technique for stopping the outside shoulder from drifting out, and thus avoids a potential confrontation. The fun starts when the canter gets bigger and bigger and Teddy shows off his bucking skills! Laura sends him on and stresses that whatever happens, it's essential he goes forward into the contact. Order is restored!

MelB 23 Dec 2011 Thank you so much Laura, for showing that even someone who is an amazing rider can have those moments where the horse decides to throw a wobbly! My horse did a huge spook yesterday morning which unnerved me, but after seeing this I go on and rode today without letting it get to me. It really helps knowing it happens to us all. Thanks again so much and very well done for Olympia. xx
