It is interesting to hear the answers people give to the question, "How do you make your horse strike off into Canter or Lope?" The answers range from: hit your horse with the whip by the flanks or kick the ribs of the horse as hard as you can with your heels or spurs or trot faster and faster until the horse by itself strikes off into canter. 4, record 4, English, - break%20into%20gallop

An equine training example of this could be if the rider clicks his tongue just as he feels a young horse about to strike off in canter, and repeats this every time the horse goes into canter, the horse will soon begin to associate the click with the canter transition and produce the canter transition on the click signal. 5, record 4, English, - break%20into%20gallop
