entertaining (and useful) way to develop the canter depart from the halt is to
use figure eights for the exercise instead of using the rail.You can start out by asking for the
canter just before you get to the corner (perfectly okay to trot the transition
if that is all your horse understands), make a circle, and when you get to the
center of your work area ask for the halt (perfectly okay to trot into it if
that is all your horse understands/has the balance for)....
