I've been getting lots of good rides in on Ginger. I'm attempting to put her in "full work". Right now we're just going up The Big Hill, to the field I am using as an outdoor arena and getting comfortable up there. Yesterday after 30 minutes of trot work in the "outdoor arena", we went on a kick ass trail ride. Lots of trotting and cantering. We even galloping up the Gallop Field. We did a few small jumps over logs and ditches. She behaved perfectly the whole time. =)

I
took Ollie out in the Pine Woods on Sunday. We did some trot and canter
sets. In the past, she must have been ran a lot. Every time you ask her
to canter, she just jolts forward. It's not like she is trying to take
off or anything, it seems like she just gets worried and spazzy. We
worked on it on Sunday, and she definitely improved. She just needs a
ton of re-training.
Sounds like you are making good progress :)!!
