subject: How to train a horse to ride in different ways [print this page] Now you must train the horse to ride in different ways: to walk, to trot and to canter. For the horse to walk, the cue go' is somehow enough. Trotting is the way a horse moves usually when attached to the carriage, that's like jogging for humans. How to train a horse to ride or trot will only take asking the horse to speed up a bit. Just slam the handler's rope a bit or whipping the horse's hip. To teach him how to canter (running for horses) do the same procedure but with more force. Cue words like Hiyahh!' will help. Just remember the rope that you hold on to while riding is your steering wheel and accelerator. If you learn to control the horse with it then there won't be a problem. Learning how to train the horse to ride will be fun and easy for you.
