Developing a Canter with Laine Ashker

A Guided Training Companion with Laine Ashker

A better canter doesn't happen by chance, it develops through thoughtful, consistent training.

Designed to accompany Laine Ashker's Building a Better Canter Guided Ride series on NF+, this workbook expands on the core concepts behind each lesson, helping you understand not just what to do, but why it matters.

Rather than simply summarizing the guided rides, this workbook explores the principles that create a balanced, adjustable, and confident horse. Through practical explanations, key training concepts, rider reflections, and structured ride notes, you'll build a deeper understanding of the exercises and learn how to apply them to your own horse over time.

Whether you're riding a young horse learning the fundamentals or refining the quality of an experienced partner's canter, this workbook provides a framework you can return to again and again.

Inside You'll Explore

• Building self-carriage through purposeful groundwork
• Developing balance with thoughtful flatwork
• Creating consistent rhythm over fences
• Improving adjustability through counter canter
• Reflection prompts to reinforce every ride
• Ride notes and progress tracking to support long-term development

The workbook is valuable on its own as an educational resource, but it's designed to work alongside Laine's Guided Ride series, where you'll hear her coaching in real time and experience each exercise exactly as she teaches it.

Whether you ride dressage, eventing, or simply want a more balanced, rideable horse, this workbook will help you develop the foundations that make every ride more effective.
