Gia - session 475 - lunging and flatwork

 I lunged Gia for about 10 minutes at the canter before riding today.  Under saddle I worked on stretching and bending at the walk.  Then we worked on walk trot transitions.  Anytime she came against my hand, I asked her to soften and/or make a down transition.  I also worked a bit on the canter today.  She started out fairly good and obedient, but when I asked her to speed up, or keep going, she threw in a few bucks.  So, I had to push her even harder to get her through it.  She didn't put up as much of a fight as she has in the past.  We ended when she was more obedient to my cues to canter and keep going.
