Tip/Quote of the Day # 1193
If your horse tends to anticipate picking up the canter when performing the simple change, add a downward transition to walk or halt, or maybe a 10 meter circle in trot, before picking up the canter again. Don't let your horse pick up the new canter lead until he is waiting for you.
