"Once you are comfortable with cantering, both sitting and in two point, we can try and get a gallop. Galloping is a two beat version of the canter and it's what you see on the race track. It's a little bit hard to get the gallop in a small area, but we will give it a try. So we are going to start the same way we get the canter, and we will start with just the normal canter and I am going to get up into my two point so that my horse can easily move underneath me and I am going to close my leg, asking for this bigger stride."
