English

Subject field(s)
  • Horse Racing and Equestrian Sports
DEF

To canter deliberately on the outside lead.

CONT

The counter canter refers to the horse's ability to take the unnatural lead.

When used properly, the counter canter can be a tool to encourage the horse to travel with an improved capacity for straightness, balance and rated cadence or speed.

CONT

The horse counter canters when he is on the right hand on a curve to the right, and canters on the left foot, bent to the left and touching the ground in front (of the other legs) with his front and hind left legs.
