just to thank all who replied to my 'help with canter'. I finally decided that I was going to canter, and so i did.
I thought about all your advice and set off, into sitting trot and on the bend I used my legs and Jude started trotting really fast at the next bend I started again with my legs and wey hey I managed to get half way round the arena unitl I pulled her back to trot. I bounced up and down like a jack in the box and it was so not comfy, I tried pushing down with my heals and'giong with the horse' but it still frightened me I mearly lost my balance a few time. Anyway I vow to keep on practicing, after all 'the best things come to those who wait' thanks again....
