Correct Lope or Canter Leads in Horses
Posted by Leisa
Subject: correct lope / canter leads
Help! I own an 9 year old percheron/appaloosa who wasn't
brokeuntil he was 6 (I have owned him for 9 months). I have
problemsgetting him to take the correct lead when loping to
the right.He works beautifully to the left.
I have been riding for longer than I care to mention and
workwith a professional instructor/trainer who also can't
figure outwhy this horse refuses to pick up his right lead.
Most horseswill eventually pick up the correct lead for
balance, not thisguy.
We have eliminated rider error, since he also picks up
theincorrect lead when on the lunge line, that is, if you
can gethim to lope at all to the right, again, no problems
loping to theleft, which he happily does on voice command
only.
We made a breakthrough this week and actually managed to
get theright lead by dramatically over-exaggerating the
aids. I waswondering if anyone else has experienced the same
problem Suggestions and training exercises would be greatly
appreciated.
