During today's lesson, John had us canter, cross the diagonal, counter canter around the far end, then cross the diagonal back to regular canter (and generally do a 10 meter circle there).
We also did some work on circles around him, leg yielding out, putting his haunches in, and mostly trying to get Duke to be both round and forward at the same time.
Duke got progressively better as the lesson went on; he started flinging his head in the air for transitions and ended with a perfectly square halt.
Last week we had a dressage lesson and jump lesson that I didn't blog about.
The jump lesson's main lesson was that I was incapable - TWICE - of remembering an entire course. Duke did great where I sent him over the jumps and I've started to be able to count strides in between the fences, but I still fucked up two courses in a row.
