We worked on improving his canter. I asked him to canter at stick to me and then by himself on the circle. However he still has a little trouble maintaining gait without reminders. I am excited that the trotting slower exercise also translated to cantering slower. He bends to the inside so nicely.

The next day my friends came to visit Kai and me. At first I did some circling game and stick to me and a little bit of ground driving. Then Gail and Karen took turns playing with him.  It was interesting to observe someone else play with Kai. It was wonderful to see how he offered to canter on the circle and how he was very responsive to body language. I think I am now more aware about my own horsemanship after this get together.
