Am really progressing with Blue's walk and trot work but his canter is still way out.
Saturday i tried a new exercise, cantering a 3 loop serpentine but every time i crossed the centre line (not on the short sides of the arena though) i tried to bring him from canter to walk and then walk to canter changing the leading leg in the process. I thought this was something that may help as it is walk canter transitions?
Although he found it hard to go from canter to walk is this because he's not used to doing that - usually goes canter to trot??
I plan to try this again today along with (also did these on Sat) trotting poles, trotting poles in a fan and raised trotting poles.
