In this video we are talking about the canter and I´m going to give you some tips on how to improve your seat in the canter. In canter the horse´s back moves quite a lot, and we need to be able to follow this movement especially from our hips and pelvis. Some of the most common problems with the rider in canter are gripping with the knees, leaning forward and hanging in the reins. To ride the canter we need the right amount of suppleness but we cannot be too relaxed either.

Hello and welcome to my channel! My name is Johanna Janatuinen, I´m a physiotherapist, animal physiotherapist and riding instructor. A big passion of mine has always been training horses and also rehabilitation. This channel is all about horse and rider wellbeing, and horse and rider training and development. You will find tips to improve your riding in and out of the saddle, and especially on how to develop a better seat in the saddle, which I think all good riding eventually comes down to.
I have worked with horses and riders for more than 20 years, first training horses and teaching riding in Finland where I live and also abroad. Later I studied to become a physiotherapist and after that also specialized in animal physiotherapy. I treat and train horses and riders, my biggest focus being to develop the connection and understanding between rider and the horse.
