Paint ,Mare 14.2(a tad bit too small (well i need 16+ hand horses lol)
Cantering her,figured it out i have to get her on the right lead and then canter her,i have been playing around will tons of ideas,a few nights ago we were at a training thingy we ended up playing with the horses i got her to take off soo fast for the poles it was amazing.Cantering her is a blast no longer need any crops or spurs(oh btw i got to use another bit instead of a snaffle they work wonders.

Just wanted to mention, spurs shouldn't be used for making the horse 'go faster' .. but to each their own, I suppose. Sounds like a pretty horse. Can't wait to see pictures  |

Congrats on finding a pony to ride!
Honestly, I think if you aren't experienced you shouldn't use any bit harsher than a french link snaffle. No offence but you don't sound overly experienced, I could be wrong, though.
You can't "get her on the right lead, then canter her" You ask her to canter on the right lead, if she fails to do so, bring her back to a trot and ask again. I may just be misunderstanding though, which I'm sure wouldn't be hard:p. So, no offence intended.

I think before you judge, Mel, you should know what kind of bit she was using

She said it wasn't a snaffle. I'm not judging. I'm stating my opinion out of concern for her and her horse.
I don't know much about bits, other than there are snaffles, which vary in severity but are generally the best choice for a novice rider. The Gag, the Curb and Pelham which is a combination of a curb and a snaffle. So I did some research and judging from said research, neither of the last three are reccomended for a beginner, and this girl clearly stated she was not using a snaffle bit.
I hate having to defend myself, especially against friends. Also, after I said that "I could be wrong". It was an opinion that wasn't even concrete and I got snapped at.
[Edit]: *Sigh* another thread down the drain. I'm sorry to the author.

Don't get like that Mel, I was only stating that you should know all the facts before you make comments like that:)
Back to the subject, I wish you the best of luck with your horse and look forward to seeing pictures soon!

hey!! Good luck with your new horse, I agree with mel though, don't use a harsh bit unless you know what you're doing!! No effence or anything like Mel stated!! Also, a suggestion for picking up right leads:
Work her in a circle, or out on the rail, whatever, and "dislocate her shoulder to the inside" meaning carefully push her into the inside, then ask for the canter, this way she has no choice then to pick up the right one, good luck, and if you have any questions, pm me!!
Danielle!

Pm me if you want more detail Gill, but it REALLY works!! That's the way i ALWAYS set Vaquero up, but we ride western, but I don't think it would be any different for english. It works though, you just carefully push there shoulder/barrel to the inside, and when you feel the horse's shoulder almost like popping, or moving out, then you ask then. It's a wicked excerise, Rhonda Fiander showed me it!!

Ok well its a snaffle bit D ring i belive,i will check it later, one where it cant do anything harm to her mouth(FYI not harsh at all) ,also my aunt helped me with cantering plz keep in mind i was posting this when i was first cantering her a few times i have learned she was acting stubborn and it was that i needed to make her trot and then attempt to canter her again, she tends to take the wrong lead but u cant really feel it she bearly does it,so that was the problem the whole time,Pics coming really soon !!!!!
