Very short canter video

[coneycat]

This is a very short video of our third canter effort. Left lead, which is my weak side (but her stronger one.) I actually have three short clips but the other two are so dark (it was evening) that you really can't see anything.

There is background chatter on the video so you might want to turn your speakers down.

Oh, yay! And Mitzi is absolutely adorable. <3 Looks like she's giving you such an honest effort. I love that. :)

Thanks! And yes, one thing we can say for Mitzi is that she'll always try to do what I ask of her. Under the circumstances she's been really honest and forgiving.

yay, that's great!

i see no problems with sticking with walk/canter transitions until you're comfortable with those.

Thanks!

And yeah, I can see pluses and minuses to both transitions, but looking at the video she was pretty nice about this one (mind you, it was the third try,) so we might as well keep it.

a nice thing about being in a committed relationship with a horse is you get all the tries you want :)

[coneycat]

I like that !

Good stuff and good for both of you!

[coneycat]

Thanks you! :D

Very nice. And don't worry about walk to canter - I find it a lot easier to prepare for a canter in walk. What matters is that you're both happy with what you're doing, and from your expressions, that very much seems to be the case ;-)

Thanks! :)
