The boy can trot.

After a whole day of rain yesterday, this morning was a mixture of sunshine and showers.
I got the best of the weather though and took Remy up to the school. As yesterday, I moved him around the school and then settled on a circle, moving with him on a smaller circle.  I asked for some walk/halt/walk transitions and he was very focussed, so I asked him for trot by placing the whip behind him and upping my energy (starting to trot myself). He's never trotted on the lunge before and we had a bit of a misunderstanding which was totally my fault. The first couple of times that I asked for the transition I was inadvertently getting  ahead of him, slightly blocking his forward movement. He took this as a signal to halt, so that's what he did. I think that's pretty cool as he was just giving me what he thought I'd asked for.
So when I'd got myself in the correct position :-o, I asked again and he trotted off pretty calmly with a nice soft transition.  We did a couple of  walk/trot transitions on each rein, he was calm, pretty well balanced and not hanging on the lunge line, so we finished the session there.  Oh what a good boy, I'm so pleased with him.
