Re: canter adjustability
There is a massive difference between collected canter in preparation for the pirouette and the collected canter at 4th and above in general and into things like the tempis. No way is the latter walk speed. In general the collected canter is lot more forward, gaining ground than it used to be few d...

Re: canter adjustability
Isn't that what you want? Yes! It's a good quality stride. The problem is that I don't have the control in it of the shoulder. So, to anyone watching it looks like a lovely collected canter.
