Good to know though I’m not sure why pulling the head to the outside would help.

another thing is that when you’re counter cantering, it should feel the same as the correct lead, because your horse should be wiling, and well rounded/driven up. trust me, it’s hard to master. haha. my horse, Dayzi can do it pretty well now and she feels almost the same both ways. it took FOREVER to get her that way!

Love it! I’m an Improver rider and when I asked my (ex) trainer how to help the horse when asking for lope, she said “Just ask. She’ll work it out.” I knew it had to be something to do with hind feet placement but couldn’t quite ‘get it’ on my own. Thank you very much for this article – it is now ingrained in my head – and, oh, yes, I’m going it alone!
