I've been working on getting Nikita more connected in the canter. She had always felt like I wasn't getting her through enough at the canter, and that my hands weren't connected to my legs. I figured it out at trot a while ago, but getting that same sort of connectivity at the canter has always eluded me. I think I'm finally starting to get it together.
My trot is also solid enough, meaning I'm consistently keeping her pushing enough into the bridle to keep her hind end working, to start shoulder-in and half passes at the trot. For me this is exciting because it means I'm finally starting to become more consistent.
