Need some stuff to do with Cara when I school her.
Just like, exercises or whatever, something that will make her think a bit.

She can do leg yield, shoulder in etc and walk to canter and all that jazz lol

What can I do with her to make her think, or just challenge her a bit?

See how softly an aid she will go off?
20m circle with a 10m circle at each "corner" if you get me?
Rein back accurately between two poles? Can you get her doing an accurate transition between those poles?

Like the circle idea, will have a go at that one

Can't use poles in the school sadly, and the jumping field grass is quite long

Shoulder in down the long side, at B do a 10 metre circle, coming back onto the track ask for a few strides of travers.
I do, on a 20 meter circle, walk a circle, trot a circle, canter a circle, then trot 1/2 a circle, walk 1/2 a circle canter 1/2 a circle untill you do it with just 4 strides of each pace. Then change reins and you can miss out walk, and have stand, or miss out the trot to do the other transitions. 10 meter circle with lots of half halts, then push on straight, after 2 or 3 strides of clear medium ask for walk. Walk straight, push for a few strides of extension, when you get some, halt. 20 or 10 meter circle, then move it one marker down the arena at a time making 100% sure you are straight inbetween. Leg yeild to the centre line, either carry on across the diagonal, or come back, leg yeilding the other way to the track. Serpintines, haw many balanced loops can you fit in a a school, makeing sure your straight across the middle.

Just a few

Lots of different size circles, loads of transitions, serpentines making sure your outline stays consistent as you change bend. Leg yielding on a circle in all 3 gaits. Trot at 1 marker, walk at the next, trot and the next, canter the next for 2, trot at the next, halt at the next etc.
