I hate this! We do lots and lots of canter circles in lessons because we do dressage and such well the horse I lease and just about any horse I ride falls in at the shoulder with me!I need some tips on how to support the horse.

DO you knead the outside rein and keep your body upright and lean to the outside abit?
I have found this helps a little bit but I wanted to know if you guys had anymore ways of doing it or anything I am doing wrong! Its kind of nerveracking when it feels like your horse is going to fall over on you!

jumping is like being set off in a catapult you dont know quite the extent of your stupidity until its over, and by that time your already in the ER

You don't want to use your outside rein. Instead lift your inside rein slightly and use your inside leg. You actually want to keep your outside rein against the horse's neck. I know this may sound weird but it really does work! This will keep the horse from leaning on the inside rein and falling in. My horse used to do the same thing to me, but she's gotten much better. Are you able to take lessons with anyone? This would be the best bet, because they could watch your horse and give you additional suggestions.
