Thanks everyone! I'm a huge scaredy cat. I'm at a jumper yard though, so to overcome some riding-related fear I joined the jumping crew for weekly lessons. It really really helps. An enthusiastic canter lengthen in the dressage arena is a lot easier to deal with suddenly

It also helps that Odin is so enthusiastic about jumping. He's actually bred for that, rather than dressage.
