Yesterday I rode Whin at the public arena I usually ride at, it was deserted (not unusual for this heat). I was really trying to focus on getting her rounder. I think she was although she also slows a little as she gets rounder.
Doing Canter trot transitions helped, I worked on true lead, trot, counter canter, trot. that really woke her up. I do have to leg her slightly to pick up the counter canter to the right, but she is obedient. After cantering I brought her back to the trot and did more shoulder in to haunches in, she was much better, it seems that being forward fixes our haunches in problems.
Tomorrow I want to focus more on transitions in Warm up. Especially within the gait. To get her moving off my leg better.
Also I want to hack her out more, really get her endurance up, and do hill work. I need to round some one up to come with me on a nice hack up the mountain!
