Progress...progress is good

Journey has been having shorter workouts over all 5-6 miles (longer on the weekend).  We are focusing on:

Canter (be a good horse, don't buck, break back down to a trot when I ask).  Today's score A+.  she still is unable to maintain it for very long, but that is fine, she is getting stronger after only a few sessions of this.  How can I tell?  Trotting speed.  She is maintaining a reasonable 6 mph pace.  This is all on the flat.  You will see that the uphills KILL us. So another task to work on...trotting the uphills.  A look at today's  numbers:
