A little support needed...and words of wisdom. I am a training level rider, took lessons for 6 months, leased, and recently bought my first horse.I've had him 2 months now. I adore him, he is a 2nd level horse, very sweet and very forgiving. We are in full time training with a very good trainer who is great. When I first got him, I would ask for canter, and he always gave it to me. Over the last few weeks, he is giving it to me less and less, today not one time.... very disappointing, feeling quite frustrated, i'm getting him round, good energy, sitting trot, little half-halt and then outside leg back inside leg at the girth and a bump with both. Nothing, but a little faster trot...he gives the canter to my trainer beautifully every time. Anyone know what could be goiong on? He is an absoulute doll, so much learning in so many other areas, but were having a big problem on this one BASIC thing!!! HELP
