I took the chicken's way out - I never canter Cookie anymore . I must be doing things wrong because she is very well trained and didn't do this before I bought her. Whatever. I'm afraid now, so I just do everything I want except canter. If I want to canter, I ride Rose, my TWH mare. She has a wonderful canter, never bucks, and I'm not afraid.
Now, if I am balanced and asking Rose properly, why wouldn't I be the same with Cookie? Maybe Rose has just lowered her expectations of me and Cookie refuses to? ROTFL! I think that must be it!

Best wishes when you begin riding again!
