My riding instructor is very good. She let's me kind of go where I'm comfortable, which meant jogging around the ring on the first lesson. In my span of 4 lessons, I've gotten much better at the jog, not bumping maybe 95% of the time. I'm very comfortable in it, and I'd like to try a canter. Is it too soon to try that? I know I'm new, but I've caught on really quickly, my RI even said so herself.
