How to Go from Trot to Gallop!

When riding, especially if it's a rider started (not beginner), before starting to gallop must be clear few things.

The first is that the rider is comfortable in the medium trot, because we can control the horse before attempting to gallop. One practice that can serve as an example is trying to stand in the stirrups while we are half or directly trot, trot. If we do it the right way, the top of the body and the head will remain stable, while the arms and legs absorb the horse's movement. If we are doing well, if the horse stumbles, we will sit automatically and we will rely on the chair instead of falling into the horse's neck.

Before we start galloping sure we adjusted the stirrups. The shorter the temper, the more secure our position on the horse. So, try going to jog around ten minutes. This time will allow both the horse and us, warm up your muscles and stretch a little.

We will gradually increase the speed. We insist to do it slowly because if we do not feel comfortable or have not adjusted well temper, is at this moment when we realize we can go and adjust as suits us. And so, slowly but decisively we can start the canter.
