A smoother canter often comes from allowing your pelvis to follow the horse’s natural offset, not forcing yourself to stay perfectly square.
In the lope or canter, the sit bones do not always stay even, they subtly shift to match the horse’s motion and maintain rhythm and balance. When you understand this “offset pelvis” and stop fighting it, your body can stay in sync, which improves fluidity and helps the horse stay more organized through the stride.
In this lesson, Jack Curtis demonstrates how the pelvis naturally adjusts during the canter, and how accepting that shift supports a more connected, harmonious ride.
