: I just bought a horse and she is good with the walk and the trot, but when I ask for the Canter she just trots faster and faster. Some times I can get her into the canter after a lot of kicking and fast troting. I have been riding fo six years and I have never had this problem with my horses. I just don't know what to do!!
You might want to put this mare back into the round pen and teach her the voice cues for the different gaits. She may be lazy, she may just have never been taught to switch. Basically you are going to have to retrain her and that takes time. Good luck.
