lots of canter departs

Nice warmup today, trot developing nicely. More lateral work on the circle at the walk and trot. Renvers coming along. Travers on straight lines and half passes across the entire arena. Canter on 10m circle sketchy. Simple lead changes through "X" OK. Need more work to control his excitement on the down transition. But a really good start. Using more high hands when he hollows out, which seems to be working. Some barrel exercises at the trot, also.
