If your horse/pony is well trained he/she should canter. All of the above seems pretty accurate.ake sure to keep your heels down, shoulders back and push into the saddle. Keep your heels down and relax into the saddle. Let your hips go with the movement of the horse (don't worry too much about bouncing at first). Don't drop your contact as you go into canter, and don't rest your hands on the horse's neck.
