You Can Canter With Confidence
Feel the Connection. Feel the Freedom. Feel in Control.
Imagine floating across the arena or on the trail, feeling the rhythm of your horse beneath you.
Imagine knowing exactly how to keep balance, control, and confidence at every stride.
How To Canter With Confidence is the step‑by‑step video class that transforms cantering fears into confidence – fast, safe, and fun.
What You Will Learn
Fix Your Position So That You're Secure In The Saddle (even at canter or lope)
Your position in the saddle has big impact on your sense of security, balance and ability to move with your horse.
It means you're either helping or hindering your horse to do what you're asking.
You'll learn how to ensure you have the right position - so that you're not gripping, stiff or off balance.
Fix Common Problems Horses Have When Cantering
Some horses have a history of bucking, rushing or tripping in canter.
You'll learn the causes of those problems and what you need to do to stop them from happening.
A Plan For Cantering Confidently
Too often riders feel pressured to canter when they or their horse aren't ready.
A few simple exercises can build a solid foundation for you and your horse - and you'll learn about them in this class.
Effective Mindset Techniques To Stop Feeling Anxious
There is a difference between appropriate and inappropriate fear.
Appropriate fear warns you of real potential danger so you can pay attention and take action to be safe.
Inappropriate fear happens when there is no real danger - it's all in your mind.
You'll learn simple and effective ways to calm yourself down in the moments inappropriate anxiety happens.
BONUS: Experience a relaxing hypnosis to help you release inappropriate fear about cantering - at the unconscious level.
You're not the only one experiencing fear about cantering.
Feeling anxious about cantering or loping is common - especially for adult horse riders.

Feeling truly triumphant!
I used your tip for folks who fear certain transitions. We moved into a glorious, athletic, but not wild, ground swallowing canter. Over and over again! I'm sure she's starting to think that the canter ask is a breath out and a kiss! Feeling truly triumphant!

I don't have to be ashamed anymore
Thank you for validating my feelings and reminding me that I am not alone. My biggest take-away (and it was very hard to choose just one because everything you spoke on resonated with me!) from the course was that I don't have to be ashamed anymore. I don't have to always listen to my inner critic.

About Anne Gage
I know what it feels like for confidence to disappear in a moment.
Hi, I'm Anne Gage, the Horse Riding Confidence Coach. I have over 35 years experience as a riding coach and horse trainer.
When I completely lost my horse riding confidence over 10 years ago, I had to figure out on my own how to regain it.
Since then I've helped hundreds of anxious horse riders regain their confidence and build great partnerships with their horses.
Let me help you to get over what's holding you back so you can enjoy every ride with confidence!
Years ago, the young warmblood gelding I was riding bucked so explosively that I ended up hitting the dirt.
It wasn’t my first or my last fall.
Physically, I was fine. Mentally, I was shattered. I couldn’t get on any horse for a while - and I was a coach and trainer at the time.
So, I genuinely do understand how you’re feeling.
That experience set me on the path to understand why fear affects so many mid-life riders and, more importantly, how to change it.
For more than thirty-five years I have coached riders and trained horses.
I specialise in the mindset tools that calm the nervous system and horse behaviour that builds trust, confidence, and connection.
And when you combine those two areas, everything in your riding starts to change.
Have A Question?
No, you don't need to have your own horse! The lessons in this class apply if you ride a leased horse, a lesson horse or a friend’s horse.
Not at all. You can practice the positions and mindset work off-horse at home or anywhere else it's safe to do so.
This class is designed for any level of rider who struggles with confidence about cantering. It covers rider position, horse behaviour and training, and mindset for focus and confidence.
You'll be able to practice the exercises to develop a strong foundation and confident mindset.
You'll also learn how to help your horse be balanced and calm for cantering.
You'll have lifetime access to the class and resources. So you can review it as often as you like.
