There are several techniques you can use to make your horse go faster while riding:

1. Use your legs: Apply gentle pressure with your legs to encourage your horse to move forward. Use your heels or squeeze with your calves to ask for more speed.

2. Use your voice commands: Use verbal cues such as "walk on," "trot," or "canter" to communicate to your horse that you want them to move faster.

3. Use a crop or whip: If your horse is not responding to your leg aids, you can use a crop or whip as a reinforcement. Use it lightly against their side or hindquarters to encourage them to move forward.

4. Lighten your seat: Shift your weight slightly forward and lift your seat slightly off the saddle to signal to your horse that you want them to speed up.

5. Practice transitions: Practice transitioning between gaits, such as walking to trotting or trotting to cantering, to improve your horse's responsiveness and speed. This will also help improve your horse's fitness and endurance.

Remember to always communicate clearly and consistently with your horse and reward them for responding to your cues. And as always, ride within your and your horse's abilities and comfort level.
