well from a person who was thrown from a young Friesian because my young trainer was in a hurry to train him at the canter I tell you to wait and make sure that you have the other 2 gaits down first. I broke my pelvis in two places and was not able to ride for 5 months.
I should have listen to my gut feeling and I knew he wasn't ready for it. Your horse has to be able to balance himself first, then you.
My old German trainer (deceased now) always told me that americans are to impatient about training. It takes time and patience to train. Do not let anyone ever tell you that you are going to slow. Remember the turtle won the race. You have all the time in the world. He has to acept the bit, has to have the rythmn and BALANCE. Hope this helps, don't make the same mistake. Me
