3 Canter Pirouette Exercises

In this video I give 3 exercises to teach the horse the canter pirouette.

1. Riding a walk pirouette into the canter pirouette is a great exercises to break down the canter pirouette.

2. Half pass into a working pirouette is also a great exercise to train the canter pirouette.

3. It is also helpful to mix in pirouette canter so that the horse gets stronger.

Happy Riding!

When your horse engages their hind end, they rotate their pelvis under a little, their whole back lifts, and their abdominals engage. This is what this workshop on engagement is all about so your horse can take more weight behind and connect back to front. When our horses engage their hind end, they can carry themselves better and perform what you ask with ease.
