What makes a good canter? And how do you develop one? 🐴

From a green youngster to a horse working at advanced level, the canter should be balanced, forward, and adjustable—but it doesn’t happen overnight!

Join Jane Bartle-Wilson for a fantastic evening demo at Benridge where she’ll guide us through:
✔️ How the canter should look and feel at different levels
✔️ Training ideas to build a stronger, more adjustable canter
✔️ Exercises for dressage riders and jumpers alike
✔️ Simple changes and flying changes made simple!

Whether you’re a competitive rider, coach, or passionate horse owner—you’ll leave inspired and full of ideas!
