Mini-Pack: Building a Better Canter
There’s a reason your trainer keeps shouting “balance!”—it’s the foundation of everything in your riding. From better dressage scores to cleaner show jumping rounds and faster, safer cross-country trips, balance is what separates a reactive ride from a harmonious partnership.
In this 4-day guided ride series, 5* eventer and Grand Prix dressage rider Laine Ashker shares a proven, practical framework for developing balance in the canter, and across all gaits. With real-time coaching, clear mindset shifts, and simple, effective exercises, you’ll learn how to create self-carriage, improve rideability, and fine-tune your feel in the saddle.
What You’ll Work On
Day 1: Lunging for Balance
Learn how to develop self-carriage from the ground up—without relying on gadgets or side reins too soon.
Day 2: Flatwork & Transitions
Use dressage fundamentals like half-halts and high-repetition transitions to shift weight to the hind end and lighten the forehand.
Day 3: Gridwork Over Fences
Apply your improved canter to jumping exercises that develop rhythm, balance, and better jumping technique.
Day 4: Developing a Counter-Canter
In this lesson, Laine explores the benefits of counter-canter and how you can work to develop balance and adjustability.
Why It Matters
A balanced horse is a happier, safer, and more successful partner. Whether you're retraining an OTTB, returning to riding after time off, or refining the edges of an experienced horse, this series offers the tools to improve rhythm, posture, and connection—with a focus on understanding, not shortcuts.
