Thank you for your replies! Yes, it's the aids used DURING the canter that I was curious about. I'm very happy with my transitions, but I'm now on the perpetual path of IMPROVING the canter.

I struggle with understanding of the timing of my leg aids during canter. I use my outside leg to get the outer hind more underneath, and I use my inside to get more inside hind underneath.

Last year I began teaching myself the basics of the online Audacity program so that I could create my own freestyles. The capabilities of the program seem to be endless and I've only scratched the surface. At the moment, I'm thinking of amplifying segments that would coincide with my "mediums&q...
