They start the canter work with Chrissa helping her keep him more up in the frame. They ride a shoulder in and haunches in and then a leg yield before trying the single change. He doesnt accept the aid for the change so they ride it again after getting him a bit more on his haunches. They change direction and work through the shoulder in, haunches in and leg yield again. When he runs on the leg yield, Chrissa reminds her to make sure he can go straight first before going sideways in the leg yield. They take a walk break and then go to the trot work.

Chrissa points out how they make sure they end with a happy horse that is working at a level appropriate to his ability.
