How to canter balanced on a horse

The canter is a 3 beat movement. The well balanced elevated canter is a beautiful pace to ride. As a rider you feel elegant
skilled and wow 'look at me'.

This is how it should feel
A rider without balance or stability will interfere with a horses natural rhythm. The horse will tighten his back, raise his head and lean on the bit "resist".

To ride the canter well. A rider needs lower back flexibility, upper body strength endurance and deep core stability. The hamstrings need to keep the impulsion as the hands hold a gentle contact. The riders pelvis tilts forwards and
backwards as the horse rounds his back and then stretches into the next stride.

A rider can learn this movement out of the saddle by training movement and stability on a physio ball. The functionof core stability at the canter can be broken into stages and trained. A good rider needs a flexible lower back with movement through the pevlis and hips. The upper back is best kept upright, this takes good muscle strength and
endurance from the holding muscles.

    I could have found lots of reasons why I shouldn’t take up the offer to ride to Machu Picchu in Peru. Yes, it was miles away, and I would be travelling alone but the chance to visit the heart of The Inca Empire on horseback,could anyone have written me a better script? Just as the Spanish conquistadors must have felt, the lure of the Inca’s grew stronger, so, one rainy Monday night in England with the newspapers spilling over with news of economic disaster, I booked my flights.
