Can you see the canter leg change?

Here’s some practice to get your eye in! Can you see Freckles change canter lead behind (with his hind legs) as he goes over the poles?

He only changed with his hind legs - when going in different leads with the front legs and hind legs, it’s called disunited canter (UK) or cross canter (US, I believe). If your horse does it regularly, it’s usually a sign of weakness, imbalance or pain, so it’s good to know what to watch out for.

He’s stronger on his left lead and hasn’t jumped in aaaagggess so I think he felt more comfortable and confident taking off on his left lead, which is why he changed. He only did it this once, though - after that he was comfortable maintaining the true right canter lead throughout.
