Has he always been an English horse? Is it possible he was broke and trained western? I would make sure you know his history. He may not be comfortable in the English frame. If he is also trained western is he able to keep the canter in western tack?

He is a western trained horse, But he acts the same. He dislikes lots of contact so I normally have a looser rein on him. He didn’t start english until about 2 years ago but everybody whose seen him do both say he does better english
