I coincidentally took photos of my lease horse today but this is the hackamore I use, it's a very simple mechanical one and I actually love it

Oh thanks, I'm definitely going to read more into hackamore.
(Your horse is stunning btw)

I've recently been having some trouble riding and would really appreciate any advice on how to improve. I've started cantering in the last few weeks and have struggled with constantly losing my stirrups- I've been told to push my heels down, yet the stirrups still seem to slip out from beneath my boots several strides later. I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing. I would also love any overall tips for cantering as I do feel quite out of control when doing so.
Thanks in advance ♡♡

Hey guys! It's been a while lol... So here's a little update on what I've been doing...
All last summer was spent showing with Avery and we qualified for area IV's top 10 riders of the year for my division! Our winter was super rough on the horses (-50F at some points) so we lost a bunch of conditioning... It's also just super duper wet where I am so none of the horses can get out into pasture. I'm trying to show up a level this year, but Avery got so fat over winter that it's kind of a struggle getting him into shape...
I have a fitness plan in place, but I've never really devised one before- would anyone feel confident enough to take a look at it and maybe help me tweak it? (yes I do have a trainer on board, I'm just a nervous nelly and lobe to have more than one pair of eyes look at this lol)

The second question is, I’m trying to teach my boyfriend how to ride. Any advice on teaching beginners to trot? It’s a little bit uncoordinated right now. Does he just have to become used to it and work it out or is there something I can do to make it easier? I was on a horse as an infant so I don’t remember what worked best when I was learning
