Nicole started flying lead changes this week. The first 2 she did fine, but now it's sort of hit or miss whether she will change late behind. She did one clean one yesterday after doing around 6 late.
Counter canter is more solid, but not as balanced as I'd like it to be, but that will come with time. She at least doesn't consider switching behind, and maintains her softness throughout the counter canter. I can also ask her to be more through, or to redistribute her balance to her hind end in the counter canter without destroying the fragile equilibrium of the movement, mainly because her strength is increasing. It still feels a little rushed, but that will become less of an issue as she gains strength and confidence.
Video will follow shortly.
