Checking to a distance

Last question! So I realize it all comes down to a poor canter. I have a TB that is very scopey but a touch lazy. But when I get after him with a spur or stick, he then gets on the muscle. Go back to the flat and being insistent he is in front of my leg? What are your go to exercises?

Go and take some PROPER dressage lessons. You will learn about transitions within a gait, how to use the aids properly, how to apply the half halt and a whole bunch of other stuff you appear not be aware of.

Thank you! As a mature (haha) ammy rider, I appreciate all of your thoughts, suggestions and support! There is always something to work on in this sport and that why we probably love it so much!
