How do you guys find doing transitions?

[kiwigirl]

Had to do walk, trot,canter transitons this week whilst going around a 20m circle ( I think it was that size) Started doing 10 of each, then 7 and then 5!

Went better than I thought although don't think I perfected 5 trotting, then 5 cantering! Was always one or two strides out!

Anyway just wanted to know other peoples experiences.

Because my horse is unbalanced I wouldn't be bale to do the transitioninto canter and then hold a 20m circle in our sandschool. She found it so much easier on the rubber surface at her old yard. On the sand school we need to have come out of the long side of the school and do the transition into the bend and then hold it. :rolleyes:
