Karen coaches a student through a basic counter canter pattern. She begins by making sure the student and her horse can perform a counter bend at the walk and trot. Counter canter is a great exercise to test and develop better balance, but only if you ride it well! One of the most common mistakes students make relates to not correctly riding the counter bend, and counter turning. This video will help you understand and problem-solve so you can enjoy the benefits of this excellent gymnastic exercise! This exercise is great for anyone with a solid working canter.
