🙋♀️ Did you know that a huge factor in getting a nice smooth canter transition is to sit the trot into the canter? 💯 It’s true! Sitting the trot a few strides before you ask for canter 🐴 1) allows you to ask for the canter in the correct timing to the horse’s footfalls so your horse can pick up the correct lead 🐴 2) gives you better connection with your horse so you can support them through the transition 🐴 3) makes it easier for you (and more comfortable for your horse) to transition your seat to follow the canter motion. 🏇 The better quality your sitting trot, the better quality the transition will be! 🔥🔥 You heard it first! The Sitting Trot Challenge opens for enrollment TOMORROW April 17th! Check the link in my bio to get notified when enrollment opens! #dressage #canter #horses
