" Hi my name Sarah Stetner I'm an expert horse rider on behalf of Expert Village. In this video I'm just showing you advanced tips or advanced English equitation riding. I just went from a stop to the canter and now I'm going to go ahead and ask him to extend his canter and go to the hand gallop. I'm going to sit up when I do this because hand galloping for English you sit up on your horse and kind of stand up in your stirrups. But you do want to keep your balance and maintain your equitation line all in one. Keep contact with his head. Make sure that his head stays down and looks really good as well. So here we go you just want to sit up a little bit until he extends. You do want to keep total leg contact. I am standing up in my stirrups. So this is the extend of the canter."
